Do you want to be a part of the largest men’s telesummit in the history of, well, ever? We think so.
The Ultimate Men’s Summit kicks off next Friday, June 10th, and will run until the following Sunday, June 19th. What is it? It’s a massive teleconference centering around modern-day masculinity. It’s a 10-day discussion about what it means to be a man today — put on by the folks at The Shift Network. As the site says:
How do men fit into and lead in this brave, new uncertain world? How do we live a life of purposeful fulfillment, and make the greatest impact possible? And how do we relate to women and to rising feminine leadership and wisdom?
Our answer is to bring together as many men as possible into deep conversation with experts and each other to engage in this emerging model of 21st Century Masculinity, which builds upon the masculine virtues of the past to create a higher synthesis. These leaders will come together in the largest virtual global gathering for men—all for free—with the Ultimate Men’s Summit.
And yes, it’s free. The list of speakers is endless, so go check out the site. And if you get the chance, stop by the summit and listen in.
I am looking forward to listening to the talks and having an opportunity to speak on a call Thursday.
Gentlemen — If you discover that this is not worth it, start your own ZetaMale Teleconference. I personally think that would be really great! Colorado in July is fun if you can get there, but if you want to be heard, and you feel your message is not being heard: Speak up; Make it easy for others to listen and join in; Speak Truth to Power; File Freedom of Information Act Requests to see how your opponents use the system and learn from them; File Discrimination Complaints; Make Your Own YouTube Manifestoes.
Okay I have a question. Near the bottom of the main page (“More About The Ultimate Men’s Summit”) it seems to start from the premise that men as a class have power and now men as a class have to get used to not having said power anymore. While that it true for a (relatively) small portion of men on the larger scale the majority of men don’t have that kind of power. Is this summit going to address men and our issues from angles other than “you had power but times are changing and you have to get used… Read more »
From your website:
“Our goal with the Ultimate Men’s Summit is to empower each one of you to take a stand for what we are co-creating together.”
Can you translate into English, please?
Sounds like a line from on of the speakers, in Gay Hendrics “Dear Women” video, which was lambasted by feminists in their media for being creepy, he talks about a new era of co-creation. His video is based in the myth of the morally and spiritually superiour feminine, collective male guilt, and the feminist version of history.

As one of the organizers of this Summit, I recommend looking at the site and rolling over the images of the 75 men who are speaking. They represent every aspect of the men’s consciousness movement, from academics to scientists to spiritual teachers, psychologists and leaders of trainings for men, authors, public speakers, and those who work on the streets with youth at risk. Each speaker (including the women speakers such as Riane Eisler, author of the Chalice and the Blade) has something positive to offer, and has been a leader and facilitator of transformation. If you want to hear famous… Read more »
Lion Took your suggestion and rolled over the images of the speakers. I’ll probably register and at least give it a quick listen but I’ve got to tell you that I was less impressed after taking your advice than I was upon first reading this post. Yes you’ve got a handful of legitimate academics, qualified credentialed therapists and one or two men that have achieved impressive work in the real world. On the other hand, that small group is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the usual melange of Shamans, Spirit Guides, Attitudinal Adjusters etc. etc. ad nauseum. Ya got… Read more »
I had a look at that the other, I only know of three of the men involved, Micheal Kimmel, who is a dishonest and misandrist researcher, Gay Hendrick, who is one of the men behind the “conscious men” movement, that promotes goddess worship and collective male guilt and Warren Farrel, who I think has done some good work.
