Find your manada

There is a seat with your name on it.

A manada is the local Legendarios group. Tell us your city and we connect you with brothers near you — or pair you with one brother if there's no group yet.

Nobody comes back alone

A manada is the local Legendarios group: men who meet, pray, and serve together. It's the ordinary place where the mountain becomes Monday. If there's one near you, we connect you. If there isn't, we connect you with a brother anyway.

You don't need to remember anyone's name. You don't need to explain the last two years. You need to tell us where you live.

How it works

Tell us your city. We do the rest.

01

You tell us where you are

Send your city and state by email. That's it. No long form, no sign-up, no account.

02

We look for brothers near you

We look for Legendarios in your area and build the bridge: we introduce you and help set up a first meeting or call. Before we introduce you to anyone, we ask you. With your OK, the local leader gets your first name, city and language — nothing else. You never land in a group where nobody is expecting you, and you never get handed a phone number and left to figure it out.

03

If there's no group nearby, we pair you up

Two men, one call a week. No venue, no stage. The brother we pair you with is someone a local leader knows and vouches for, and either of you can ask us for a different match — no explanation needed. Just two brothers talking through four questions: What am I thankful for? Where did I struggle? What will I practice? How can you support me?

What to expect at a first meeting

Usually it's simple: men arrive, someone reads a short passage, there's prayer, and there's talk about real life — work, kids, marriage, the thing that went wrong this week. You can listen the whole time. Nobody will make you stand up and account for where you've been.

Some manadas meet weekly, some less often; some gather families at the monthly RPM prayer meeting. Rhythms vary by chapter, so confirm locally — that's part of what we help with.

What a manada is not
  • It's not pressure.
  • It's not an audience for your performance.
  • It's not one more commitment weighing on your conscience.
  • It's not a replacement for your local church.

It's the place where you can say "this week was hard" and hear "we're with you" — and that's all.

In our experience, a full manada is a reason to open a new one, not to leave you out — and we'll say so to the local leader.

If you moved

A lot of men drift simply because they relocated.

New city, new job, nobody knows them, and the old group is three states away. If that's you, say so in the email. Moving is not a spiritual failure; it's logistics. We handle logistics.

Questions

Before you send your city.

Why did I get an email from you?

Because at a TOP or a Legendarios sign-up you authorized contact. Reply once saying stop and we stop — no insisting, no calls, no messaging apps, ever. The door stays open if you change your mind.

Is After the Top the official Legendarios?

Yes. After the Top is the official outreach of the Legendarios movement for brothers who did the TOP and drifted away. It is not the movement's main site: we don't handle TOP registrations, event schedules, or institutional matters. For those, use the official channels linked on the About page.

Who is this for?

Men who did the TOP once and never served, or served for a while and disappeared. Men who moved and lost their manada. Men who lost the habit of prayer and church. Men carrying something heavy they haven't told anyone. You're also welcome if you never did a TOP — nothing here is gated.

What does it cost?

Nothing. No step here involves payment, mandatory donation, or financial commitment. Nobody from After the Top will ever ask you for money.

How do I contact you?

Email only: hello@afterthetop.com. We don't use phone or messaging apps for outreach. A real brother reads every message and answers. A reply can take up to a week — but you will get one — since we're volunteers with jobs and families. If you haven't heard back by then, write again — it means we missed it, not that we ignored you.
