Why is Longship For Men Only?
Longship is a men’s only program, utilizing the practice of men’s circles to empower the Longship community. Mens’ circles are groups of men who come together to share their experiences, feelings, and challenges in a safe and supportive environment. These circles are typically designed to foster deep connections and safety amongst other men, often with a focus on exploring masculinity, relationships, and other aspects of male identity, health and wellbeing.
One of the key benefits of men’s circles being exclusively for men is that it creates a space where men can be vulnerable and honest with one another without the social pressures and expectations that can sometimes come with mixed gender settings. This can allow men to explore their emotions and inner lives more freely, which can be especially important for men who may feel socialized to suppress or ignore their feelings. Additionally, men’s circles can provide a sense of community and support that may be harder to find elsewhere. By connecting with other men who share similar experiences and challenges, men can feel less alone and more understood. This can be especially valuable for men who may feel isolated or disconnected from others in their lives.
What is an Archetype Partner?
An Archetype Partner is an individual who exemplifies what Longship defines as a prototypical positive male leader. Someone who fully embodies the core values of grace, honor, and integrity, and who can bring knowledge, experience, and guidance to the Longship community.
Archetype partners empower Longship by providing their own educational content to members through a variety of different means, be it online resources, workshops, Boat Crew mentorship or at Longship Sanctioned Events.

Testimonials
“I was seeking a men's community that was intentionally assembled to provide an arena for my continued self-actualization. Longship has provided just that. This group has become an integral part of my life as I continue to grow and navigate life's challenges and blessings. I look forward to the monthly meetings and find myself leaning in to the inner work that comes from each exercise.”

“Being a part of Longship has helped me find the right answers to the questions I never knew who to ask. In our monthly meetings, in practices grounded in honor, grace, and integrity, I have been able to remove my mask and genuinely connect with both like-minded and unlike-minded men, but all good men. The diverse experiences within our crew offer guidance on the parts of life that matter most. The parts requiring deep, contextual understanding of one's circumstances before they can be addressed at a meaningful level. Being a part of Longship has made me a more attentive spouse, a more thoughtful business partner, and a more contributing community member. It has made me a better man in every meaningful measure.”
