What we’re about
Our circles offer a space for men to explore what’s happening in their lives right now. Some come because they want to make a change, others because something feels missing, or because they rarely find places where they can speak openly. The structure helps men listen without judgment, challenge each other respectfully, and strengthen their personal leadership.
The Mankind Project (MKP) is a global volunteer-run organization dedicated to men’s personal development. We create safe and supportive spaces where men can practice honesty, responsibility, and emotional awareness. MKP is non-religious and non-political.
If you want to explore men’s work in a practical way, joining a circle is a great place to start.

In-person men's circle
Javastraat 118, 1094 HP, Amsterdam, NLI’m the organizer and point of contact, but each session is facilitated by a different man. Lucien will lead this circle.
Join an evening of honest conversation, support, and personal growth. We meet in a simple and respectful way, sitting together as equals. The focus is on what is real in your life right now.
This circle is for you if you want:
- more clarity about your direction in life
- support in navigating emotions or challenges
- a break from performing and pretending
- a space where you can speak freely without fixing or being fixed
During the evening
We use a simple structure, moving through connection, creating a safe setting, doing personal work, and closing with appreciation for what we’ve explored. A brief overview of this structure can be found in the I-Group poster.
You choose what you want to work on, whether small or big. Every man listens without judgment, and no one gives unsolicited advice. The structure is simple and safe, so you can explore what matters.
Practical info
- Doors open at 19:15
- Start at 19:30 sharp, end at 22:00.

All men are welcome, regardless of age, sexual orientation, background, or experience.
