What we’re about
This Open Men's Group is a part of the non-profit Men's Organization, The ManKind Project - https://mankindproject.org/who-we-are/
The ManKind Project supports a global brotherhood of over 1,000 peer-facilitated men’s groups serving close to 10,000 men each week. In an MKP men’s group, men mentor men through the passages of their lives.
When men of integrity and compassion join together to Wake Up, Grow Up, and Show Up, the ripples created can change the world.
Open Men's Groups are regularly scheduled gatherings that help introduce men to the experience of sitting in a supportive circle with other men. This provides an opportunity for men to practice authentic sharing, reflection, and a deeper connection with one another in an open, authentic, and supportive setting.

This is a virtual circle hosted on Zoom. If you have not used Zoom before, please be sure to download and install the app ahead of your first meeting by following the simple instructions found here: https://zoom.us/download
Out of respect for the other men and the group, please be on time. Participate from a quiet, private location that allows all men to hear and share freely. Please ensure that your sound is sufficiently turned up. All men will be participating with their video on—we want to see you!

What We Practice in our Open Men's Groups:
Emotional Authenticity – Because we believe in honesty and wholeness, we practice emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
Personal Responsibility – Because we value integrity and accountability, we take 100% responsibility for our feelings. We own the impacts – positive and negative –intended and unintended – of our choices and actions.
Leadership Mastery – Because we believe that role models change lives, we practice highly principled personal, interpersonal, and group leadership.
Empowered Mission – Because we value generosity, service, and connection to spirit, we explore and live from our deepest purpose.
Supportive Community – Because we care for ourselves and the generations to come, we create a place for men from all walks of life to learn and teach in a safe, respectful, challenging, and inclusive peer-network.
