Dusk.
A fire gathering for fathers.
Dusk is a mens circle for dads.
It combines 3 ingredients: nature, fire, and authentic connection.
We meet monthly in a grounded setting in nature around the fire to share stories, wins, challenges, and create space for men to support each other.
They say it takes a village.
and we’re re-villaging

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.
My work has been featured SBS Insight and across podcasts and media platforms focused on modern fatherhood, mental health, and relationships.
