The Forge: A Santa Cruz Men's Group

For generations, men gathered around the fire, in lodges, on hunting trips, and in councils. They told the truth, held one another accountable, and passed down wisdom.

The Forge is a newly formed men’s group for those who value truth, accountability, and growth. We meet to challenge ourselves, share openly, and sharpen each other through honest conversation and shared experience. Whether you’re working on being a better father, partner, leader, or man, this is a place for men who refuse to stay stagnant.

If this post is up, we’re still actively recruiting. Capped at 10 men to keep things real, personal, and powerful. Once we reach 10 committed members, the group will close.

Meetings are held every Monday from 7:30 to 9:00pm in Aptos.
