SHAPING OUR COMMUNITY
What can we create together?
ACTIVE COMMUNITY
What can we create?
- What can I bring?
- Who could I inspire?
- What can we experience together?
- How can we grow together?
We’re building a community shaped by its members. You can start a meetup, activity or workshop and bring ideas to life with others that would be hard to realize alone. Initiative matters, and so do reliability, openness and taking a real interest in others. You belong even when you have little to give.
01 / THE IDEA
Friendship you can count on.
Connections that last.
Moksha Phalanx brings together men who want to build real connections and grow together. Men who support, challenge and inspire each other.
We make time for shared experiences, from sport and workshops to retreats and simply being together. We’re building this community step by step with the people who help shape it.
02 / WHAT BRINGS US TOGETHER
Be yourself.
Show up for each other.
Strength and vulnerability can sit side by side. That’s where real closeness begins.
Real brotherhood
Listen to each other. Be honest. Build friendships with room for trust and reliability to grow.
Growing together
Question old habits, discover new perspectives and take responsibility alongside men who inspire you.
Shared experiences
Get involved through conversations, sport, workshops and retreats. Everyone can bring their own ideas and experience.
Think for yourself. Grow together. No dogma.
There’s room here to explore and question your own values. We welcome different beliefs and ways of life and approach them with curiosity. Honesty, respect and responsibility are our shared foundation.
Belong without having to prove yourself. Be free and accountable. Hold high standards without shaming anyone.
MOMENTS WE SHARE
A connection

Challenge each other. Grow together.

03 / YOUR PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY
Come as
you are.
For men who are attracted to men.
We share a desire for real friendship, personal growth and a sense of belonging. Different lives and perspectives make the community richer.
- You want to connect more deeply with other men.
- You’re open to honest conversations.
- You want to get involved and grow together.
A PERSONAL NOTE
I’m Emanuel.
I started Moksha Phalanx because I wanted a place where men who are attracted to men could build deeper friendships and create something together that’s much bigger than themselves or the next hookup. I got things started. What it becomes is up to all of us.
04 / GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions?
What is Moksha Phalanx?+
A private community we’re building for men who are attracted to men. It’s about genuine friendship, brotherhood, growth and shared experiences.
How can I join?+
Choose “Request to join” to open our private Telegram group and send a join request. Introduce yourself there and tell us what drew you to Moksha Phalanx.
What do we do together?+
We share ideas and plan things to do together. That includes online meetups, sport, workshops and retreats. The group is where you’ll find the latest plans and dates.
Do I need to know anyone already?+
You can take the first step on your own. Just send a request if you’d like to get to know the community and make new connections.
Why are we doing this?
Having lots of contacts doesn’t automatically lead to friendship or belonging. We’re making room for men who are attracted to men to get to know one another, learn from each other and build something together.
Which thinkers and ideas inspire us?
Friedrich Nietzsche prompts us to develop our own values and take responsibility for them. Émile Durkheim draws attention to social ties and shared points of reference. Alexander Bard inspires us to think about networks and active participation. Brian Eno calls the creativity that emerges when people work together ‘scenius’. We’re free to question these ideas and see what holds up in practice.
Lukas and Bastian Schaller, founders of the Moksha Movement association, have brought together nearly 1,000 men and women across German-speaking countries. They developed a training program for men and women rooted in traditions from ancient Indian cultures. Moksha Phalanx is an independent space for men who are attracted to men.
Why does it matter today?
Social media and dating apps make it easy to meet people. Trust takes shared time and experience. We want a community where men can show up for one another beyond the screen and make a contribution of their own.
Does it cost any money?
Membership is currently free. When a shared activity involves expenses, we split the actual costs.
Why do I have to apply?
The application is your first step into our private group. A short introduction lets you tell us what brought you here and gives us a chance to get to know each other.
