Open Circles

Bring what’s on your mind. Hear other perspectives. Take part in an honest conversation.

Our open circles are free, online and in person. You can share or simply listen.

Connection Circle

The front door. An open, facilitated conversation that gets past small talk — drop in any week and say as much or as little as you want.

ML 101 Circle

Thirty minutes for first-timers. What a men’s circle actually is, what’s expected of you, and what isn’t.

Fatherhood Circle

For dads, step-dads and the men who show up like one. The part of fatherhood nobody warns you about, with men who are in it too.

Neurodivergence Circle

For ADHD, autism, dyslexia and high sensitivity — diagnosed or not — and the people who love them. Come as you actually are.

Twentysomething Circle

For men 18 to 29, alongside guys figuring it out at the same time. Work, money, love, and who you’re becoming.

All Humans’ Circle

Once a month, all genders in the same room. A different conversation, under the same agreements.

GBTQ+ Circle

For gay, bisexual, transgender and queer men and their allies. Connection without having to translate yourself first.

Divorce & Separation Circle

Support for men going through divorce or separation — the unraveling, and who you become on the other side.

In-Person Open Circle

Local chapter meetings, in a room, monthly. First-timers welcome — you won’t be the only new man there.

Take part and give back

Expanded Circles

Take part in the open circles and additional circles, while helping MenLiving keep connection within reach.

Contributors give back through gifts, time, and involvement. A monthly gift of $25 is suggested, never required.

Become a contributor

Choose a gift that works for you, or request access without giving. After your gift, watch for an email confirming your community access.

Expansion Circle

Four times a week — the backbone.

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

Next gathering:

Sage’s Circle

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

Next gathering:

Mastery Circle

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

Dates are posted inside the community.

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.

Next gathering:

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.

Next gathering:

In-Person Closed Circle

Madison’s closed in-person circle.

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

Next gathering:

Conversation between gatherings

Some circles have their own conversation space in the online community. Attend a gathering and the facilitator will invite you into its space afterward, so the group can continue the conversation. These invitations are separate from your contributor access.

Annual Retreats

Coming soon — contributors get early access when dates open.

Deep Work courses

Coming soon — contributors get early access when enrollment opens.
