SUMMARY
In our hour together as Dad's, we will create a safe space for all to share what is happening in their lives without any judgement or unwanted advice. A place for us Dad's to just be ourselves. To connect more deeply as men. A place to make friends. To laugh. To cry (if needed).. to just be in supportive energy together.
This is a professionally facilitated experience with leading Men's Group facilitators trained by EVRYMAN, the Circle Way and more.
You can Drop in to any circle without any commitment to attend another. Come as you are.
This is a Donation based event. So you can pay any amount that feels good to you based on the experience. Typical donations fall into the yoga class category of $10 - $50 but some who want to pay it forward offer more generous donations :) . Link to donate will be provided at the circle.

More on Dad's Circle
The Challenge We Are Addressing
The Struggle is Real: dads and deeper more pervasive than ever.
Loneliness for dads is at an all time high. And with a pervasive lack of community to support us, life becomes even more challenging.
Digital disconnect for both dads and kids is creating major mental health issues.
Resources for dads are limited; no central place for dads to get resourced, supported and connected.
Lower Income dads even more lacking due to lack of funds for the limited access to the oversubscribed areas of therapy, coaching and programs
Overall, most dads do not know the other dads in their children school especially the newer dads. As dads we are alone,. Without community and dealing with a whole range of mental, emotional and social health issues that are completely foriegn and difficult to navigate.
We need each other. We need the support of other dads to be on this journey together.
We need a safe space to share our challenges, our pain and our small victories.
We Need dad Circles
Overview: dad Support and Connection Circles are a donation based offering that provides a safe and professionally facilitated space to share, release and get resourced. They are designed to invite dads to connect at a deeper level and find the common connection that all dads share in their love and desires for their families. Typically circles last from 1 - 2 hours and can be done both online and in-person. And can be set up for both mons, dads and Co-Ed.
