Dusk.
A forest gathering for fathers.
Dusk. Day is over, but not quite gone. Night approaches, but is not quite here. The in-between space where silhouettes and outlines blacken. A transition.
We’ll gather at dusk, in the forest, by the fire. Together, under the trees, we’ll explore fatherhood transitions; how identity shifts as a father, how perspective changes. What’s illuminated? What’s in the shadow? What from our life is over, but not quite gone - what’s approaching, but not quite here?
There will be fire, drinks, maybe even some poetry for the brave. A touch of masculine myth that only feels fitting in the forest. It’s a chance to come together as men to do men’s stuff. Not in the macho or wood-working way. Men’s stuff about men, about your role as a father, as a masculine leader.
This won’t be educational in the traditional sense - but you’ll learn a lot.
Open to fathers or men on the journey into fatherhood.

Fatherhood Guide & Facilitator
I help men grow into great fathers by preparing them for birth and early fatherhood - because when when fully show up, families and culture thrive. I have over a decade of experience designing and delivering programs that support men, families, and communities through major life transitions. My professional background spans law, education, and social-emotional learning.
I’m a father of two, and have been with my wife for over 15 years. Like many men, fatherhood asked more of me than I expected. Raising Fathers was born from this intersection of lived experience and the work I’ve done in education, designing programs for people globally.
In 2025 I personally supported more than 60 expectant and new dads to prepare for birth, navigate the early months of parenting, and strengthen their relationships during one of the most demanding seasons of life.
My work has been featured SBS Insight and across podcasts and media platforms focused on modern fatherhood, mental health, and relationships.
