For a long time in dominant culture, the deepest divisions amongst men have been those across class, race, and culture. If we're going to lead ourselves into a better future, we're going to need every brother around the table.

In all our in-person programming, we welcome brothers coming from diverse and historically under-represented life-ways. These brothers offer the space an immense gift in the richness of perspective and life circumstance they bring.

Program Overview

The Full Circle Fund supports men coming from communities often excluded from circles like these. We offer scholarship for 50–80% of program cost based on need, travel stipend for in-person programming, and seed funding as Full Circle Fellows take this work back to their communities.

When I found Heart of Men, I was a completely different man than I am today. My entire life I was exposed to the darker side of humanity. Before I knew what violence or abuse was, it was being imprinted on my body and nervous system. By 11 years old, I found marijuana and alcohol and the freedom from oversight that only addict parents can give a little kid.

I spent the next decades slowly becoming a mirror of the parents I resented in so many ways, including a 15 year battle with opiate addiction. Throughout my 20's I was in and out of prison—spending the final 6 in my longest stretch and being shot by the police four times during the arrest.

03 / 06

The world I left was not the one I returned to and I shortly found myself in a similar place, on drugs, losing the people and progress I had been working tirelessly towards, thinking of the ways I could just give up and exit this world. I felt alone.

As I was working my way from this place; intensive therapy, yoga, Reiki, meditation, breath work, anything I could get my hands on to figure out WHY I was the way I was—I was introduced to Heart of Men. Thomas has a connection to this work so palpable you can feel it. The deep thought, the love invested, and time devoted to every activity, question, workshop, ceremony, sentence spoken is something that really stands out for me.

More than providing a program to follow, Heart of Men wants to see you heal. The friendships I've developed with these brothers who took the journey with me I'll cherish for my lifetime. Through this work I've found a home in my body, safety in loving and being loved by a healthy masculine connection I've never witnessed, the release of these traumas and dark clouds I thought would follow me forever.

If you're ready for a lasting change, ready to get to the root of the reasons you've found yourself who and where you are, looking for a true journey of self transformation you found the right place. Take the leap, you'll thank yourself later.
