Men’s Circle

3 months ago

The Men’s circle is a space where we can start to rebuild our relationship and connection in community with other Men. Through conversation and shared experiences, this is the natural way for us to create connection and new friendships.

This is not therapy, a place for fixing each other or giving advice. Its simply coming back to that fire that we would have been sitting around for many generations, to be part of a group and enjoy social communication.

Talking is great but there is no expectation.
Listening is key.
Being present and not isolated is beneficial to us all.

Each week Luke will lead the group with topics of discussion that not only open the flow of conversation, but also allow us to talk about the challenges in life that effect us all.

The only thing left for you to do is sign up and attend.
This is a small group with 12 spaces. The sessions are free to attend so its crucial that you commit to coming when we save your space.

If you have further questions before the session, please don’t hesitate to message

The Men’s Circle is a free 90 minute session provided by Hammersmith & Fulham

Every Tuesday from 6th of May to 8th of July 2025

It is completely free to attend the Men’s circle, please click on the date you are interested in to reserve your space:
