A welcoming men’s circle for honest conversation, breathwork and meaningful connection in a space of trust and support.
Starts at 6pm
In a world where men are often expected to have everything figured out, this gathering offers a space to be genuine, not perfect.
This is a free event, with an optional plant-based dinner available for $15. While there’s no obligation to stay for dinner, sharing a meal together offers a meaningful way to strengthen connections.
Andre and Sri Jiva co-host this circle with a shared passion for creating authentic, supportive spaces where men can connect deeply, offering this gathering simply because they believe in its importance.
The Men’s Circle provides a safe and nurturing environment where men can share openly, express their feelings and encourage personal growth. Through honest sharing and collective support, participants build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and strengthen their sense of identity and purpose.
Structure of the Circle
Gathering in a Circle: Participants sit in a circle to symbolize equality and unity.
Breathwork is a powerful practice to help ground the nervous system and connect to a deep presence.
Talking Object: A sharing stick or object is placed in the center. Only the person holding the object may speak, ensuring uninterrupted sharing.
Open Sharing: Anyone may choose to share while holding the object. Sharing is optional, and passing is always respected.
Active Listening: While one person shares, others listen attentively without speaking, interrupting, or offering advice. The focus is on witnessing and being present.
No Judgments or Advice: Participants refrain from judging or offering unsolicited advice, creating a safe space for authentic expression.
Closing: The circle may conclude with a group reflection, a moment of gratitude, or a simple acknowledgment of the shared experience.
