What we’re about
Hello
You will:
- be heard and seen, in a safe space
- authentically connect with men, on a deep level
- thus develop a connected brotherhood of trusted men
- decompress, debrief and take the edge off
- learn tools to move forward in your life, as a side effect, by just attending, eg. listening and communication skills, as well as confidence
I have been:
- running Men’s Circles since 2021
- coaching men since 2020
- mentored and trained by Kenny ‘the Man Whisperer’ himself and am in one of his Circles (he’s an Expert, been doing this for 23+ years, is the 'agony uncle' in the i newspaper)
- really benefiting from attending Circles, as have many other men
I run 'Closed groups', for depth and safety, you will get to know the other men (rather than 'drop-in').
The first session is complementary, a taster, to see how well it suits you.
Every Closed Group will have a maximum of 8 men.
Terms run for 6 months (start Jan + July).
Man.Acadamy website has details (what is a Men's Circle, what happens..), including testimonials of men who are really enjoying, growing and benefiting: https://www.Man.Academy/mens-circles
I also run an online Men's Circle, 4th Sunday, 19:30 - 21:30, if that's better timing for you, please get in touch.
Please message me with any questions or just book a call https://www.Man.Academy/call
Please share with other decent men. Thank you very much.
In Your Service, for your empowerment 🙏🏽❤️
Merlin
PS ~ Testimonials (more on website):
“Regularly speaking freely in this way has benefited me by allowing me to express my emotional state and release stuck emotions, giving me a structure within which to look inside, reflect on what I'm feeling and put it into words, which is helpful in my journey of processing the emotions I feel and coming to terms with my emotional life - something that, especially as a man, has often been discouraged at various stages, and in various ways, through my life. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, Merlin!”
Sam, 39
“These opportunities to express my feelings has drawn me out of a shell that I had not realised I was in. The effect of the group interaction under Merlin's supportive methodology is having a lasting impact on several areas of my life, improving my mood and enhancing my ability to translate ideas into actions for the benefit of others. As a result, interactions with other people have improved, and my involvement in the local community has also begun to blossom. I feel fortunate and blessed to have been given the opportunity to take part. Thank you Merlin!”
Dave, 55

Men's Circle ~ London ~ Closed Group ~ 2nd Tuesday ~ 10:30 to 1 ~ St Paul's
St. Paul's Cathedral, St. Paul's Churchyard, London, GBRegular Men's Circles, normally the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
This is a closed group, which currently has 2 spaces.
Closed group has the same men each time, which means the men in the group will get to know each other and feel safer to open/go deeper.
After a complementary 'Taster Circle', if you want to become a regular, you'll be asked to commit to the rest of the 6 month 'term' (start Jan and July).
There are a number of men in the group who are not on Meetup, so the numbers of attendees on Meetup are not 'real'/accurate.
FIRST you need to confirm you agree with the ground rules = https://go.Man.Academy/rules
Bring an open mind and your real self.
NB: More details, eg. what is a Men's Circle, what are the benefits...
- in the Group page ~ meetup.com/mens-circles-london-in-person
- on the website - Man.Academy/mens-circles
Before attending / if curious, you have the option of a call with Merlin, to get to know each other a bit, see if its a good fit, ask any questions you may have. Please book a call with me here - https://www.Man.Academy/call
If the group is full, you can go on the wait list, as men do move/move on. Best to give me your phone / email as I find messages do not get through on Meetup so well.
