The Men's Emotional Wellness Summit

ALL KINGS PRESENTS: Men’s Emotional Wellness Summit 2026 Men across America — from young boys to elders — are struggling. Depression, suicide, anxiety, anger… the numbers keep climbing, and the usual answers (pills, isolation, and one-on-one therapy) aren’t getting us where we need to go. All Kings sees this every day in our circles and Quest Weekends — men are starving for real connection, real accountability, and real community. Over the last 60 years, men’s groups have evolved to fill this need, many of which are thriving and providing exactly the tools men crave: community, feeling, and purpose. Examples include: 100,000+ AA meetings with 65% male attendance and thousands of men’s groups. The Mankind Project: initiated 70,000+ men into transformational rites of passage. F3 Nation: 90,000 men meeting at 6,000 weekly workouts across the U.S. All Kings: Since 2019 bringing 700+ men through circle 200+ men through Quest weekend focusing on supporting formerly incarcerated men.  However, they are silo’d. Very few of the men’s group members, let alone men generally, have any idea of the scale of the men’s group movement today. This prevents greater awareness amongst men of men’s groups as an option and tool. For All Kings and every other men’s group, this hinders recruiting, funding, and the ability to create change through public dialogue.  What it is: A day-long summit where leaders and members of these groups gather, learn best practices from each other, and form mutual connections to support and improve each others’ programming.  External Goals:  Start creating real connections between groups to spawn more dialogue, more events, and more energy between men’s groups.  Build powerful public dialogue, message and media for men’s work nationally Audience: Leaders and members of existing men’s groups. The general public supportive of this methodology.  Where: The Forum at Columbia: 605 West 125th st  Programming: Academic talks about the structural problems facing men.  Fireside chats with men’s work leaders Workshops where folks participate in men’s work tools / facilitation Livestream/podcast formats  Host Committee Aaron Burris: Inside Circle Rachel Katz: Equimundo: International Men’s Wellness Or  Frank Shwartz: F3 Nation: Biggest Men’s Group in America?!  Boyson Hodgson: Mankind Project  Barry Cooper: The Bro Experience  Thayer Case: Maverick Psychotherapy  Representative from the American Institute of Boys and Men
