Who this circle is for

Anyone caring for a parent, partner, child, friend, or another loved one. All genders are welcome.

What a gathering is like

Learn from a guest expert and talk with others about the experience of caregiving. Share challenges, reflect on what helps, or simply listen. Check the listing for upcoming dates.

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 commit to returning. Try a gathering and decide whether you’d like to attend again.
  • You choose what to share about yourself and why you came.

Find another topic or format. Each circle follows the same shared agreements.
