The Hearth of Men

Weclome to the Hearth of Men

The Hearth of Men, founded by Alexander Mackain and Dirk Plas.
It is designed both as a centre point for our community and the deeper ground for the inner Self to grow out of.

It is the heart of our men’s work: potent, transformative containers where men return to themselves, to each other, and to what truly matters.

It is the centre of the elemental self.
A place to feel the steadiness of earth in your body,
to let emotions move like water,
to sit with the fire of truth,
and to breathe the clarity of air.

It is also the meeting point of the masculine and feminine within.
The spine and the softness.
Direction and receptivity.
Presence and sensitivity.
We work with both, because both are needed.

At the Hearth of Men we build community.
We gather, eat, share stories, speak honestly, and grow bonds that hold.
The work stays practical, embodied, and rooted in lived experience.

Under this Hearth sit all the elements of our offerings:The Hearth of Men is a community, a meeting place and a sacred container for all of our creative offerings, bringing many ingredients together in one rich, nourishing feast:

• Webinar: The Art of Manning Up - A grounded introduction to embodied masculinity.

• Webinar: Finding Ground - Finding inner resources through the elements.

• Day-long Event: Tending the Fire - A day to breathe, move, face truth, and reconnect with other men.

• 4-Day Retreat: The Embers - A deeper journey into brotherhood, shadow, integration and renewal.

• To come: The Lodge - A dedicated space for gathering, resting, eating, and continuing the work.

The Hearth of Men is where fire, truth, rootedness, embodiment, brotherhood, the elemental Self, and shared wisdom all come together in one clear, grounded place.
