The purpose of the ManKind Project is to create a safer world through the development of “better” men. We train and support men in circles to create a world where men act on their individual and shared responsibility to foster a brighter future for humanity. We initiate and support men on a path of emotional maturity, spiritual awareness, and deepening community.

Open Circles are regularly scheduled gatherings that help introduce men to the experience of sitting in a ManKind Project 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.

What We Practice in our Circles:

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.
