1 1/2 years ago I launched a Crowdfunding Campaign on this platform to fund a virtual summit on wholehearted and grounded masculinity.
I humbly look back at the video I shot and see that I realized everything I intended to.
Since the successful launch of the summit with close to 1500 participants,
A LOT has happened with Evolving Men:
- over 150 posted videos on Facebook
- over 520 members in Facebook Group
- 100 men in Evolving Men Community
- 30 members on Inner Circle who meet bi-weekly for Community Calls
- 12 local men's circles
- A workshop infront of 100 men on Embodying your Purpose
- over 2000 followers on Facebook
- Supporting and co-facilitation at the European Men's Gathering

Now, it's time for another promise and I need your support for making it happen!
The most meaningful experiences for me where when I was interacting with men in-person.
Connecting and collaborating with other men is what empowers us to show up in the most meaningful and empowered ways.
That is a big piece of the New Culture of Masculinity that is emerging! (see more below)
The most frequent question I received this year from Evolving Men Community members was about local gatherings.
That is what I'm going to focus on in 2020 and I need your help realizing it!
Here's what I promise for 2020:
- 2 in-person weekend (Friday-Sunday) events for 10-20 men close to Salzburg, Austria.
(First date: March 6-8th.
Second date: June 5-7th) - Continued collaboration with trusted men's workers in Europe (EMG, Evoluce Muze)
- Support creation of local men's groups through Group Coaching programs
(first group started in Novermber) - New branch of my work: Embodied Entrepreneurship (First Podcast Episode here)
Helping Radical change makers have an impact while being deeply rooted in their body
- Beginning collaboration with my partner Katharina-Frieda on creating spaces for a new culture of (Intimate) Relating
Stretch Goal:
I will organize a 5-day embodied leadership intensive for 25-50 men
in October with trusted colleagues and mentors.
Location in Central Europe tba.
The New Culture of Masculinity:
Men all around the planet are starting to connect again to healthy masculine qualities such as clarity, presence, direction and a healthy integration of their raw primal power.
They are also opening up to equally important traits such as tenderness, receptivity, vulnerability and compassion.
These men are no longer afraid of feeling their body and their emotions.
These men are beginning to gather and forge deep bonds of brotherhood.
They are stepping out of their numbness, loneliness and despair.
They are taking responsibility for themselves, their communities and the well-being of this planet.
Evolving Men has become one cell of this emerging culture.
In a functioning Community, we see more clearly who we are and how we want to show up and contribute.
A lot of challenges we are facing these days are related to men feeling isolated, hurt and without perspective. Violence is an expression of suffering.
When men get the support they need, they want to contribute.
This is what Evolving Men is about.
Providing the support for men to show up for who they truly are.
Help us making this possible by adding your contribution to this campaign!
