What is a Men's Circle
- a place for Men to meet and talk about life
- an opportunity to feel support and share support for other Men
- a place to explore human connection with other Men
- an ongoing dialogue about the concepts of healthy masculinity
- a safe place to engage and express deep feelings
- a place and time that you can come to rely on and know that you can share anything and feel safe doing so
- an energy and experience that is often difficult to put into words

About The Men's Circle
In mid 2013 while living in Duncan on Vancouver Island I discovered that there was support for Men. While driving in downtown Duncan I saw a banner on the side of a building. "Support for Men". This was the catalyst that eventually brought me to my first Mens Group in Duncan. It was a scary step to take, as I didn't trust Men and certainly didn't feel safe sharing with Men. What I experienced and witnessed called me back to the circle week after week and inspired me to eventually start a circle in Squamish. The Squamish Men's Circle has been meeting in Squamish since March of 2014.
We follow an outline that is designed to allow each Man to be supported. The outline also allows each Man to look inward and assess where he is at, where he may need support and where he may need to do some work.
What you get from the circle is really up to you. You can quietly witness others, as they go through their process, only to find out that you learned a lot about yourself through the experience. Or, you can step up with courage and ask to be challenged and commit to taking action in your life.
