This active and reflective Circle of Trust® program is open to men of all ages. The human journey is ultimately a return to who we are. In large group, small group and solitary settings, the journey of returning to our selves is explored, using the personal stories of men, poetry and stories from wisdom traditions and time in the natural world.

We co-create a trustworthy circle in which we can listen to each other with courage and compassion. Within a safe space and as we rest, hike, contemplate and converse, our own voice can be heard:  wisdom arises to guide us how to return to our selves.
