All Humans’ Circle

Once a month, all genders in the same room. A different conversation, under the same agreements.

In MenLiving’s own words

For the last seven years, MenLiving has created thousands of spaces for men to “connect, heal, and thrive.” But the human experience isn’t segregated. So, once a month, MenLiving is hosting an open circle for people of all genders to sit together, listen deeply, and speak honestly. It’s an invitation to step outside our separate spaces and come together to explore the simple, messy, beautiful stuff that makes us human.

Who this circle is for

All genders together, once a month. If you found MenLiving because of a husband, son, brother or friend, this is a circle you can attend yourself.

What a gathering is like

The same agreements as every other circle, in a room that is not men-only. The conversation is different for it, which is the reason it exists.

What you don’t have to do

  • You don’t have to talk. Listening is participation, and plenty of men listen the first few times.
  • You don’t have to fix anyone. Nobody will try to fix you either — that is the agreement, said out loud at the start.
  • You don’t have to have a story ready. Men speak from their own experience, and “I don’t know yet” is an experience.
  • You don’t have to keep coming. Men come once, or for a season, or for years. Coming three times and moving on is the model working.
  • You don’t have to explain why you came. Nobody will ask, and nobody will follow up afterwards.

Same agreements everywhere. What changes is the room.

Ready when you are

Most are free, most weeks of the year. You can listen the whole time and nobody will ask you why.

Keep the door open for the men who need it

Connection should stay within reach.

Most circles are free because donors pay for them. Your gift funds facilitator training and keeps the open door open for the men who need it most.
