“We need men who love.” -Bell Hooks
Elkheart
Men Who Love
Why We Exist
Elkheart was born out of a desire for deeper connections in community and a need for healthy male role models. Contrary to the predominant cultural narrative, we know that fully embodied masculinity is beautiful, generative, and necessary. One man at a time, we’re working to reclaim that story. Together, we are stepping further into heart-centered alignment with that truth.
What We Do
We hold liberating space where men can bear witness and be witnessed. We pick each other up, offer guidance, and cheer each other on. We hold each other accountable and call bullshit when we see it. We strive to become better leaders, fathers, partners, friends, and lovers. We grow, learn, heal, fail, and succeed together.
Elkheart empowers men to live from their hearts.
Unwavering, the Warrior bears witness. Come what may, he stands steadfast; heart open wide, he is fiercely strong in his love.
