The dream

in our garage, experienced mechanics and young and clever men begin establishing workshops and start carefully restoring one of those legendary swiss postbuses from 1964 . Working together on a project - a bond is formed - the elder becomes a mentor.

 

With their strengths united, they transform the old bus into a cool and cosy men's café where conversations about important topics in men's lifes can be elaborated.

 

Talking about emotions and relationships are an integral part of this journey -

for every man involved, me included.

the Vision

awakening the curiosity, spirit of passion and belief in one's capacities will start the fire in the hearts of these men and new projects will be born in their hearts. Together we will bring them to life. Meaning, purpose and fulfillment bring deep happiness not only in these men's lives but in those of their environments as well. 

We will establish more mens-working places to catch more dreams in more men.
