and along the way, we become better friends, gain perspective, and grow as men.
"I'm looking for a better way of thinking. A better thought process. Breaking Ice guys help with my thought process in a way I never thought a group of men could."
"It gives another source of connection and community. It gives people a chance to listen...and speaking about things going on in life, and getting some feedback."
"Breaking Ice Collective gives me a place to bring my problems. They help me with my problems. And they don't judge me for my problems."
We're a community of men over 30 who get together to have good conversations, build friendships, help others, and share adventures. It's really that simple.

We build friendships through weekly Zoom conversations, opportunities to lend a hand to others, and a variety of in-person adventures and get-togethers. Wherever you live, Breaking Ice Collective creates space to connect with guys from different backgrounds and walks of life, including those you might not otherwise meet.

We believe helping others is an important part of being a man. At Breaking Ice Collective, that can be as simple as showing up for a Zoom conversation, participating in a regional service project, or connecting one-on-one with another member. These are just a few of the ways we support one another and make a difference in the lives of others.

Our conversations may begin on Zoom, but that's just the beginning. Breaking Ice Collective is creating opportunities to connect in person through gatherings, service projects, and members-only adventures that bring guys together, build friendships, and create lasting memories..

Jump in and see what our story is all about.
We are primarily men over 30 years old and under 60 years old.
We get together on Thursday evenings at 9pm CST/6pm Alaska.
We limit the Zoom to one hour each week.
We have two simple formats:
Open Forum - Conversation around what is going on in life right now.
Theme - We talk around topics or shared experiences based on a pre-given theme.
No. Come when you can and want to attend. No pressure on attendance.
Join as a member and you will gain access to our platform site and app through Mighty Networks. It is an easy format to jump in on and get the hang of quickly. We keep it simple. We also offer an orientation if you want prior to jumping in.
The adventure trips registrations give priority to members.
It is a simple $10/month, cancel anytime. Beyond that it is up to you on how much you want to participate as a member of the Collective. We know life is busy, so don't want this to feel like another obligation, but value your presence whenever you can come.
The greatest value is in the members. Gaining from others perspectives and experiences, and simply in new friendships, is the highest value. Which also means you bring value. Every member gets something different out of it, depending on the Zoom call, service project, or adventure they chose to be a part of with the Collective.
