About us

👥
Who are we? We are…
  • Dads of all shapes and sizes. Biological, adoptive, step-dads, foster dads, co-parents, or chosen dads.
  • Not a gender based community. All identities are welcome, this includes all pronouns, ages, ethnicities & race (even those with multiple identities) and lived experiences.
    • If this is an issue for you please let us know ahead of time.
  • Dedicated to personal growth in the presence of other Dads.
  • Sharers, support seekers, listeners and really awesome humans.
  • Re-defining what it means to be a Dad.
👷
What do we do? We…
  • Meet for 1.5-2 hours every other week via Zoom for 6 months (12/2024 - 6/2025)
  • Do short check-ins, meditation, long check-ins, and goal setting/supporting
  • Practice connecting our body, mind, and heart
  • Sometimes host additional recurring and/or one-off hosted events: virtually or in-person.
    • It could sound like:
      • Our Bi-Annual (summer/winter) Lake Tahoe outing.
      • Annual Russian River kayak day.
      • A spontaneous water park take over.
      • Camping 🏕️, fire circles, bbqing 🍗 🥦, fort making, volunteering and whatever we want
Why do we do it? We do it because..
  • Being in community with other men is healthy. Dads from different generations, backgrounds, and cultures have unique perspectives, knowledge, and experiences which we can learn from.
  • Practicing vulnerability is healthy. Being seen (especially in vulnerable moments) by others can help us see ourselves more clearly.
  • Being a Dad can be confronting and even isolating at times.
  • Reliable and accessible communities are healthy. Sometimes we don’t know how to grapple with challenges that life throws our way. A consistent support system can help us navigate and effectively grow from those challenges.
  • The definition of what a Dad was, is, and/or should be has never been static. It’s up to each and every one of us to explore and re-define our own identity as a Dad for ourselves and our loved ones.
