Journeymen | One Village

Our Mission

Journeymen encourages compassionate, inspired and resilient young men through nature-based rites of passage, mentorship, and community engagement.

Why Journeymen?

Resilient and vibrant societies from past and present have traditionally upheld ceremonial initiation experiences to welcome youth into adulthood. However, most youth in modern, Western society will never experience an intentional Rite of Passage. Further, we recognize how this gap is affecting boys and young men, who often face tremendous pressure to fit into the "Man Box", an unhealthy and inauthentic image of manhood.

Journeymen facilitates vital experiences to guide the men of tomorrow to discover their authentic gifts, create a strong vision for their future, and fully engage in their lives through meaningful service and effective, heart-centered action.

Through these initiatives, Journeymen is deeply committed to fostering equitable and regenerative communities that address many of modern society's most prominent issues, namely, sexual assault & violence against women, traumatic early life experiences, and the abuse of natural resources.
