The Medicine

What is the medicine?

The Medicine is a potluck conversation where men are able to openly share and connect with each other over food and drink. A safer space to nourish our mind, body, and spirit for a healthy balance of manhood.

Community Agreements

The Flow of the Medicine

Reimagining what manhood can look like is a community effort. To ensure that we honor the sacred nature of our gathering and this work, the following are some practices we ask all who attend The Medicine to adhere to for the benefit of the collective.

The Practices

Come in, greet the brothers present, and grab a virtue from the medicine bag. It’s yours to consider and might add value to the conversation

We will open the discussion with an acknowledgement and honoring of the land and our ancestors at 3:00pm and we will have a closing ritual at about 6:00pm

Bring your food or drink to the food area and make yourself a plate if you feel inclined

LISTEN. We arrive at different times and there’s likely a discussion that is already underway, so take a few minutes to listen before sharing. We will all experience the question(s) of the day in a variety of ways and there is space for all perspectives to be heard

To limit talking over one another, please share when you are complete with your thought when speaking. If you have something to add, please wait until any current speaker is complete
