Why are the tickets for "Man" and "Not a Man"

The organizer is specifically asking for participants to identify a gender preference of either having the identity of "Man" or not. The reference comes from Sanskrit / Buddhist sutras that talk about "the thing" and "not the thing" philosophy. This event is all inclusive for all genders.

What's parking like nearby?

There are a few "paid lots" and meters in the downtown Phoenix area. Either anticipate a flat-rate for parking or a metered parking opportunity. Please see our site-map for potential parking locations.

Look at the below agenda. Our evening will start with a small, sacred gathering followed by questions to the community. This event is best likened to a Ted Talk, except the audience is guiding the conversation instead of one person lecturing. Participation is encouraged!

What do you mean by "not a safe space?"

The Organizer likes to highlight that a guarantee on emotional safety and "not being agitated" by something another person has to say is not possible in full, vulnerable, and open/honest space of human connection. We cannot promise you won't be upset or feel uncomfortable emotions at this event.

About this event

Community • Other

What does it mean to be a man — today, in this world, in this moment of history?

What even is "a man?"

Join Generous Kingdom for an evening designed to spark reflection, meaningful dialogue, and conscious community connection.

This is not a lecture or performance. It is a conversation, an opportunity to explore together the evolving nature of masculinity, identity, and purpose in a rapidly changing world. Our best way to describe it is a TedTalk that is led by the audience and community.

This is a gathering for men and allies of all identities — a space for honest exchange, shared curiosity, and heartfelt listening.

You are invited to arrive with answers, curiosity, and presence.

This is not a safe space event.*

What to Expect

Community engagement
Guided conversations; group discussions
Time for integration, open play, and connection
Light snacks and refreshments
Optional opportunities for networking and games

* Please note that the evening's discussions may include "activations" or "triggers" that come up. Thus, full safety of emotional well-being cannot be fully guaranteed. Every human being is expected to maintain their own sovereignty over their emotions, and know there are supportive humans that will be present in the evening to be with you if you need further emotional support. This is not formal therapy.
