Who this circle is for

Gay, bisexual, transgender and queer men, and their allies.

What a gathering is like

A free facilitated conversation about shared experiences. Participants listen, speak for themselves, and avoid giving advice or trying to fix others.

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.

Ready when you are

Most circles are free. Find a date that works for you, and take part by listening or sharing.
