Men's circles
“When men sit in circles together, they remember the old ways — how to listen, how to feel, how to be.”
Robert Bly
Why Men’s Circles Matter
Most men carry more than they show. We keep moving, fixing, performing, and coping, but often without a space to slow down and feel what’s really happening inside.
A men’s circle changes that. It’s a place where you can drop the armour for a moment and meet other men who are doing the same. No competition. No pretending. Just presence, honesty, and breath.
When men gather in this way, something ancient comes alive again — a kind of brotherhood that reminds us we’re not meant to do life alone.
Many men today feel disconnected, isolated, or unsure where they belong. Studies show that more than a quarter of men in the UK say they have no close friends. (Vitality, 2023)
And yet, when men come together to share, listen, and be witnessed, that isolation begins to dissolve.
A men’s circle isn’t therapy, yet it can be deeply healing. It’s a place to speak what’s true, to be met without judgment, and to rediscover your own strength through connection.
This work matters because it helps us remember what healthy masculinity really looks like, not performance or control, but grounded presence and honest relationships.
When we sit together like that, something shifts. Not just in the room, but in our lives, our relationships, and the world around us.
For those who want to commit to a six-month journey, the closed men's group offers deep support from a committed group of men who wish to make fundamental changes.
The Open Circle (drop-in format)
The drop-in circle is a space any man can step into when he needs a place that's steady, honest, and real. There is no ongoing commitment. You join when life asks for it, and you stay away when it doesn’t. The door is open, and the welcome is the same each time.
These circles are held lightly. I guide the space and set the tone, but there is room for the group's energy to shape itself. This format is intentionally flexible. Some months, I will run them online; other times, in person in London. They appear on the events page whenever a new date is set, and I announce them through newsletters, communication groups, and social channels, so you know when the next gathering is coming.
A drop-in circle works well if you want a place to bring whatever is happening in your world without having to explain yourself or hold it together. Whether you are overwhelmed, numb, curious, frustrated, or simply longing for contact, you can enter knowing there will be men who meet you without judgment and without needing you to be anything other than who you are.
It is also an accessible first step into men’s work. You get a taste of what it feels like to sit with other men in truth, to speak from the body, and to feel the steadiness that comes from being witnessed. And whenever life gets busy or heavy, you can return and reconnect.
Pricing is kept simple and is based on donation.
If you want a space you can lean into from time to time, rather than a structured monthly commitment, the drop-in circle is where you can land.
