Men’s Circle: Real Conversations
In a society where men are expected to always have it together, this space is for being honest, not perfect.
This is a free offering but there’s the option to stay for an amazing plant-based dinner ($15). There’s no pressure to join, but sitting down to eat together is a simple, powerful way to deepen the sense of connection. Andre & Sri Jiva aren’t running this circle for profit and they are genuinely invested in creating real, meaningful spaces for men to connect.
The Men’s Circle is a gathering where men are able to connect in a safe, supportive space to share experiences, express emotions, and foster personal growth. Free from societal expectations of stoicism or self-sufficiency. Through open sharing and mutual support, participants are empowered to build resilience, self-reflection, and a stronger sense of identity and purpose.
Structure of the Circle
Gathering in a Circle: Participants sit in a circle to symbolize equality and unity.A short meditation or moment of silence may be included to help everyone arrive and connect.
Talking Object: A sharing stick or object is placed in the center. Only the personholding the object may speak, ensuring uninterrupted sharing.
Open Sharing: Anyone may choose to share while holding the object. Sharing is op-tional, and passing is always respected.
Active Listening: While one person shares, others listen attentively without speaking,interrupting, or offering advice. The focus is on witnessing and being present.
No Judgments or Advice: Participants refrain from judging or offering unsolicitedadvice, creating a safe space for authentic expression.
Closing: The circle may conclude with a group reflection, a moment of gratitude, or a simple acknowledgment of the shared experience.
