What we’re about
Welcome to Rooted Kingship: Men’s Growth & Trail Connection
This is a space for men who are tired of doing life alone.
Rooted Kingship is all about real brotherhood authentic connection, honest conversations, and showing up for each other. We’re not here to perform, but to be ourselves and support each other as we walk through life literally and figuratively.
What to expect:
Monthly (or biweekly) trail walks and hikes in Durham region—Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington and beyond
- No pressure to share, but a chance to connect in a safe, respectful space
- Focus on mental health, fatherhood, personal development, and what it means to grow as a man
- A confidential, judgment-free community. What’s shared here stays here.
Whether you want to talk or just walk, you belong here. Show up as you are. Brotherhood starts with a single step.
Rooted Kingship: No one walks alone. Ever.
