What we’re about
One of the most influential factors in this present moment is the nature of masculinity. Men’s roles continue to evolve and challenge our sense of who we are, and how to be authentic men in a changing world.
The Shine a Light Men's Project is a mindful gathering for men to meet and discuss among themselves what it means “to be a man” and how we may use this awareness to improve our lives. For the Fall 2025 season, we are offering mindfulness meditation and discussion of men's issues on-line and in person. The topic for the Fall season is Embracing Change with Mindfulness.
The 75-minute meetings feature mindfulness meditation for beginners and advanced practitioners, along with open, constructive, and supportive small group discussions just for men.
The Shine a Light Men's Project is non-political, non-religious and non-judgmental, and openly invites differing points of view whenever relevant. Mindfulness brings us together as men.

Join us for this discussion for men, by men. Guys talking among ourselves is the only way we will come to understand our place in today's changing world. All points of view are welcome.
