Join MenLiving

Become a contributor.

Take part in the Expanded Circles and help support MenLiving’s gatherings, facilitator training, and online community.

We suggest a monthly gift of $25. Choose an amount that works for you, or request contributor access without a gift.

Expanded Circles

Join the open circles and additional circles for reflection, conversation, and support.

  • Take part in gatherings throughout the week
  • Early access to Annual Retreats and Deep Work courses
  • A welcome email when your community access is ready
Expansion Circle

Go deeper on one topic the facilitator brings, with more room to sit inside a single question than a drop-in allows.

Sage’s Circle

Eldership, mentorship and legacy — for men moving from accumulating to distilling what actually matters.

Mastery Circle

One-off deep dives, often with a guest expert, on a subject worth a whole evening. Scheduled as they come together.

Accountability Circle

A weekly check-in on the goals you’re working, framed by Atomic Habits — for men who follow through when someone’s expecting them.

Caregiver Circle

For anyone caring for someone they love. Learn from a guest expert, share what’s hard, or just sit with people who understand.

In-Person Closed Circle

A committed small group for men who’ve been through open circles. A next step, not a parallel track.

The spaces that go with them

Each of these circles has a matching space in the online community — Sage’s, Caregivers, and Accountability & Goals — where the conversation continues between meetings. The way into a space is the meeting itself: come to a gathering, and the facilitator invites you in afterward — so each space stays the men who actually sit in that circle.

Annual Retreats

Coming soon — contributors get early access when dates open.

Deep Work courses

Coming soon — contributors get early access when enrollment opens.

You can give or request access without a gift. Both paths offer the same access.
