In person

Meet in person

Chapters meet monthly. Venues move around, so each gathering lists its own location. Open circles welcome first-timers — come once and decide nothing.

Chapters

A chapter is a group of men who meet near each other, month after month.

Once a year, everywhere

Men Walking Day

One day a year, men walk together in cities across the country. The next one is Saturday, September 12.

See Men Walking Day

MenWalking Groups

Cities that walk year-round — movement, fresh air and real conversation. Not chapters: no room, no agenda, just the walk. Some walk monthly, some as their dates are set.

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.
