We are a group of men dedicated to the promotion of a strong and healthy male spirituality. We invite all men to join us on this great and mysterious journey towards a mature masculine spirituality. We affirm and support men seeking a life long connection with spiritual consciousness in order to transform themselves, and through their life experiences, their relationships, families, workplaces, communities and our environment.

Many men in today’s society struggle to find meaning and purpose in their lives. Our programmes, events and resources provide men with opportunities to do their ‘inner work’ in the company of other men. We use ritual, teaching and other ways of communicating to create safe environments where men can explore and discover their deeper selves and the true purpose of their lives.                                                

We provide spaces where;

  • Men can realise their innate need and longing for the support and nurture of other men
  • Men can share their emotions openly
  • Men can be vulnerable without being judged or shamed
  • Men can let go of those patterns and beliefs which no longer serve them

We seek to engender a generation of Men, who will act, As Learners and Elders [MALE’s] in their life roles. We welcome all men without regard to age, ethnicity, background, sexual orientation, status or creed. We aim to be inclusive; we are open to men of all faiths and none. We respect the individual beliefs of all men.

The Elder Council is a group of Initiated men or Stokers chosen at the annual Mórdháil (Gathering) to oversee the running of the organisation through the establishment of Local Groups and the promotion and organisation of the Men’s RITEs of Passage (MROP). The Elder Council meets once a month to reflect on the vitality and the governance of the organisation. It provides appropriate support, encouragement and mentoring to men in their search to live authentic lives in the service of their fellow human beings. We reclaim the spiritual initiation of men through experiential journeying into the True Self, creating a tradition for future generations.
