Mastery Circle

Contributors carry these gatherings — a monthly gift is asked at the door, never required. Join with a monthly gift

Men who want an evening on one subject, in depth, often with someone who has spent years on it.

What a gathering is like

A single gathering built around a subject worth the whole evening, frequently with a guest. These are scheduled as they come together rather than on a rhythm, so the dates are the dates.

• 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.

• Fatherhood CircleFor dads, step-dads and the men who show up like one.
• Divorce & Separation CircleSupport for men going through divorce or separation — the unraveling, and who you become on the other side.
• Twentysomething CircleFor men 18 to 29, alongside guys figuring it out at the same time.
