Brothers Supporting Brothers. Welcome to The Bridge, an organization committed to assisting men to create breakthroughs in their life. To that end, we have created a website that offers insights and opportunities for masculine growth and awareness. The purpose of the website is to provide you with information about future events, and lots of cool stuff to read and contribute a comment.

The Bridge organization offers men an opportunity to continue to reclaim their masculine essence. In addition to the upcoming Grail and Bridge events, this website has articles on the essence of the masculine, women, sex, the green man, enlightenment, distractions, purpose and single minded dedication. Click on Jay's Writings, Library and Bookstore for a slew of articles, poems, and a few select books we highly recommend. Feel free to email or call if you have any questions - 415.713.8030.

The Bridge is created and nurtured by men who are deeply touched by the masculine suffering within and around us. And our suffering, like waves in a pond, reverberate out to our partners, our work, our children and ultimately to our world. We feel the dire need for men to come together as a group and compassionately challenge each other to grow, to evolve, to heal and to express our natural aliveness in all phases of our life.

It is our simple observation that many men in our society are isolated, confused, and disempowered. We are in great need of the communion, clarity and inspiration provided by connecting with each other and with nature.

For more information on The Grail, click on The Grail in the Navigation menu to the left. The Grail is delivered by the women of Shematrix. I have participated in 6 Grail events. I have found The Grail to be one of the most remarkable, impactful, and awakening experiences of my life.

So strongly do I believe in this work, I have organized 2 Grail events in the past and I am organizing yet another in July 2007 in Northern California.
