UNTAMED MEN’S CLUB

THE GROUND RULES

This isn't about being perfect. It's about being present.

UNTAMED is built on trust, respect and the willingness to show up as yourself. These are the standards that protect the space and allow men to connect honestly.

1. BE PRESENT

No screens during UNTAMED.

Put the phone away. Be where your feet are. Give the men around you your full attention.

2. WHAT'S SHARED HERE, STAYS HERE

Confidentiality is non-negotiable.

What another man shares is his story to tell. We don't repeat it, share it or use it outside the group.

Trust takes time to build and seconds to destroy.

3. RESPECT THE MAN IN FRONT OF YOU

Respect yourself and the men around you.

Everyone has their own experience, perspective, boundaries and truth. You don't have to agree with another man to respect him.

Listen before you judge.

4. SHOW UP. REALLY SHOW UP.

Take part through action and conversation.

Banter, humour and bravado are part of being human. But don't use them as a mask when something real is underneath.

You don't have to share everything.

But if you choose to speak, speak honestly.

5. OWN YOURSELF

Be honest with yourself and with the group.

Own your choices.
Own your words.
Own your actions.

No excuses. No blame.

6. SPEAK FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE

Use “I”.

“I think…”
“I feel…”
“My experience is…”

Not “we all…”
“men always…”
“you should…”

Your experience is yours.

Another man's may be completely different.

7. STAY IN THE PRESENT

Be careful with words like “always”, “never” and “that's just how I am.”

The past informs us. It doesn't have to define us.

Ask yourself:

What is true for me now?

8. NO BULLYING. NO AGGRESSION.

UNTAMED is a safe and inclusive space.

There is no place for intimidation, bullying, aggression or passive-aggressive behaviour.

Challenge ideas.
Ask better questions.
Disagree with respect.

No man's safety comes at the expense of another.

9. GIVE A MAN HIS SPACE

When a man speaks, let him finish.

You don't need to fix his story.
You don't need to judge it.
You don't need to make it about you.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is listen.

10. DROP THE MASK

You don't have to be the funny one.

Or the tough one.

Or the successful one.

Or the one who has everything figured out.

UNTAMED is a place to experiment with different parts of yourself and discover what feels more authentic.

You might surprise yourself.

11. STEP BEYOND YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Growth rarely happens by staying completely comfortable.

Challenge yourself.

Try something different.

Have the conversation you've been avoiding.

Take the next step.

Be willing to discover what you're capable of.

12. TAKE UNTAMED WITH YOU

What happens here shouldn't stay here.

Not the stories — the experience.

Take the connection, courage, honesty and perspective back into your life.

Be more present with your family.

More connected with your friends.

More capable in your work.

More willing to lead.

The point isn't to become a different man.

It's to become more of the man you know you can be.

WHAT UNTAMED ISN'T

UNTAMED isn't therapy.

It isn't a place to recruit, sell, preach or persuade.

It isn't about being for or against men or women.

It isn't political or religious.

It isn't about status, hierarchy or who can shout the loudest.

And it certainly isn't a place to use the community for personal or sexual agendas.

There are no gurus here.

We're simply men coming together to move, connect, challenge ourselves and support one another.

The space belongs to the men who show up.

Protect it. Respect it. Contribute to it.

And tell other men about it.

Not by telling their stories.

But by telling them what it feels like to belong.
