Band of Brothers

BAND OF BROTHERS, one of the Big Stick Division Teams, supports

all men with masculine care.  We provide a safe and confidential open

environment, encouraging authenticity and honesty, to facilitate healing,

growth and success so that we may become powerful leaders for our families, businesses and the greater community.

Our weekly meetings provide men the opportunity to support and be supported through teachings, rituals, discussions, and fun activities so men can explore their feelings, concepts, values, and life skills which can be employed by them to grow and be successful in their lives.

Toltec Tribe

Toltec Tribe, one of the Big Stick Division Teams, creates the space to

impact, improve, and enhance the quality of our men’s lives by helping each other to create strong families, businesses and personal relationships. Political and religious discussions and activities are left outside of the team's purview.


Our time together influences the greater community in many ways, including service activities in many forms. At our weekly meeting, our members commit to take off their masks and bring their truth. We meet to

learn and practice the skills that lead to successful personal, intra-personal and business lives. Every meeting is different, and there are frequent trainings at little or no cost. Each Toltec Tribe member commits to grow within themselves and fully participate in all team meetings.


Everything we discuss in our meetings is held in confidence. This means that everything we say, see and hear in our circle stays in the circle. We can, and are encouraged, to talk about are the lessons we learn and the wisdom we gain from our associations with purposeful men. Come as you are; there’s no background check.


The Team dues are $10.00 per month. This isn’t group therapy. We support men by honestly sharing our experiences and the wisdom we

have gained from them. We may provide qualified referrals, but do not provide specific help with addictions, serious mental disorders or issues that require professional help. Members are not locked into a monthly or annual membership, and can choose to leave the Team at anytime.

UGLY TRUTH

Ugly Truth works towards the betterment of ourselves and our

communities.  We strive to be examples of positive masculinity to our families, friends, associates and others.  To this end, we welcome new tools and schools of thought to learn from and create personal growth.  Members of this team support one another as Brothers.  These are relationships of depth and camaraderie rarely experienced by men in today’s world.

We expect the men in our circle to give their truth freely without holding it back,  and have created a space where a man can say what he needs to say and learn what lessons he needs to move forward in his life.  Each man is expected to hold confidentiality as sacred.  What is said here, stays here.  Even the men of other Big Stick Teams are not privy to the details of what is shared among the Team.  It is important that we have this place to become better men.  Without confidentiality, that couldn’t happen.

We welcome men from all religious faiths, or none; and we don’t discuss politics.  As such, we expect that all men in the circle respect the beliefs of others who do not share their own.  We accept all men without regard to race.  We are not here to judge; we are here to learn from one another and become better men to benefit our communities.

We listen to the collective wisdom of the men in the circle, and believe that any man willing to be here has value; all men, new or old-timers, have wisdom and insight to contribute to the Team.  No man present has the “I’m New” defense available.  Physical violence is not allowed and is grounds for reassessing membership on the Team.  We have a set of Standards that all men are expected to agree and adhere to.

All Team members and guests pay the Team Kitty for $5 per weekly meeting, which covers community service events, fun nights out for the Team and the annual (post-Covid) Team Overnight Event.

Team Valhalla

Team Valhalla, Big Stick Division’s original men’s Team, has long been the bedrock of the Division. Numerous Division and Regional Coordinators began their journeys within our ranks, and are still engaged in passing on their wisdom on to men. We welcome men who are new to this journey and are engaged in learning about mature, masculine care.


All Team Valhalla asks is that you “do your best”, and then challenge yourself to do better. As mature men we will support your aspirations and achievements, while also illuminating opportunities for improvement. It is important to our men that we model masculine care in our homes and communities to offset the toxicity prevalent in our world.


Throughout your journey you will build fellowship with other men who are also seeking new insights into old behaviors. You will have opportunities to offer sympathy and comfort to men who have been hurt like yourself. And you will develop a greater understanding of the strength attained after wading through the darkness side-by-side with those who’ve been there too.


The work we do on this Team is difficult and can be uncomfortable at times; so we value confidentiality above all so that men can trust each other in the circle to be revealing. What is said in the circle stays in the circle. However, you are free to take and apply the lessons learned to your journey on becoming the man you have only dreamt about. There is room for you in our vessel of great leaders.

Valhalla Team Dues of $40.00 are payable semi-annually, and cover the Team’s community service activities, fun nights out for the Team and the annual (post-Covid) Team Overnight. No member of this volunteer organization receives a salary, stipend or compensation.

Walking Tall

Walking Tall was established on March 15, 2017.  Our mission statement is to take BOLD ACTION with courage and strength in the face of fear; deliver TRUTH and SUPPORT; grow in relationship with ourselves and the Men in our circle; become multi-dimensional men; and give GENEROUSLY of our resources to those in need.  Our Banner is based on

the principles of being a multi-dimensional man, balancing mind, body, and soul.


We are a Team of Men who focus on the ideals of being a mature, masculine man.  In our weekly meetings we inspire each other to pursue a purpose larger than ourselves and are unconditionally committed to each other to winning in all areas of our lives.  Confidentiality is of the utmost importance.  It establishes the trust needed so we are secure in knowing we have a safe environment that allows us to be honest with each other, give our truths, and reassured that no man is judged.


Walking Tall’s monthly Team Dues are $5. per man, which cover community service activities, fun nights out for the Team and the annual Team Overnight.
