me & men'scircle

I was invited, in 2020, to support a fellow graduate of The Embodied Facilitator Course, Steve Savides, in training men to facilitate useful online men's groups. We worked together for over a year building a series of documents over many meetings with other leaders in this project. When Steve handed the reins to Pasco, our CEO, my relationship stayed. The first facilitator training was received in February 2022 and the third May 2023.

​

Men's Circle meetings are called 'Circles'. I co-facilitate, most Wednesdays, our Open Circle which runs on Zoom and is open from 19:45 to 21:30 UK time.

Facilitators introduce the Circle, ask agreement to some useful boundaries then layout the following 90 minutes.

There are invitations to talk, listen, breath and move more mindfully.

The Open Circle is open to all for a four week trial and to all members siged up to a Closed Circle.

​

I deliver the training to the Closed Circle facilitators in a 26 week, 6 stage model. The model untilises a hefty chunk of my library, learnings and experience to invite men to be listened to by others and to 'listen' to themselves. 

The taining includes trauma awareness, embodiment practises such as centring and mindfulness. 

Men are invited to be accountable, to be challenged and to become better men. Some men come with a specific goal in mind, others go with the process and goals emerge. Facilitators are supported, by me and each other, with frequent contact and training updates. These men are volunteers, leading their first Closed Circle after 16 hours of training and practise.
