The Gathering of Dads
At The Gathering of Dads, every voice matters, every story is valued, and every dad is welcome—however you define being a dad. Join us and discover the power of community, connection, and growth. Together, we can be better dads living better lives.
Being a dad is one of life’s most important journeys—and no dad should walk it alone. The Gathering of Dads is a safe, welcoming community where dads come together monthly to share, learn from one another, and grow into the dads, partners, and human beings we want to be.

The Host
Hello! I am Scott, a native of Oregon and longtime resident of Virginia. With two kids, decades with a loving wife, and years of professional work in the U.S. Coast Guard and corporate America, I’ve lived and appreciate the challenges of being a dad. I balance my lived experiences with my personal journeys in mindfulness, yoga, Buddhism, tantra, somatic experiencing, Jungian analysis, holotropic breathwork…and yes, even a book club for parents. I love being awed by moments of awareness and insight. I love connecting with others to see each other’s humanity. I look forward to meeting you.

When we gather, it offers opportunities for personal reflection, emotional awareness, and skill-building that help dads show up more fully in their roles as parents, partners, and individuals. The space we create helps dads reconnect with what matters most — being grounded, compassionate, and intentional in their everyday lives.
-
Parenting is about more than raising children. It’s also about self-discovery, healing, and breaking cycles so we can show up more fully for our families. When dads support each other, we build stronger connections with our kids, deepen our relationships, and create healthier lives for ourselves and those we love.

This isn’t a workshop or a lecture. It’s a gathering of dads supporting dads. Whether you’re a new father, a seasoned parent, or anywhere in between, you’ll find encouragement, wisdom, and belonging here. There’s no pressure and no agenda—just real conversations. Each monthly gathering is different. The dads who are there guide where we go. That’s it; plain and simple.
