A supportive and inspiring mens community that exists to help men show up in the world as more connected, compassionate and conscious men.

Due to societal conditioning, masculine expectations and an absence of modeling from our caregivers, men are often unable to share what they are truly experiencing in their day to day lives. Repressing these feelings is both unhelpful and unhealthy, placing huge stress on themselves and important relationships.

The Connected Man creates supportive spaces and programmes with the intention of sharing, learning and growing within a supportive community of men.

TCM CIRCLES

A four-week space for men to truly show up, as themselves and for each other.

(ONLINE
AND IN PERSON)

  • Seven men gather once a week for four weeks to co-create a space and share with vulnerability and honesty what is most present for them in that moment. Exploring ourselves and supporting each other by sharing our needs, challenges and wisdom within a safe masculine-identifying container has transformative powers to help us heal and grow.

  • TCM Circles run for a period of four weeks, known as a 'chapter', throughout the year. To join you will need to be able to commit to attending every session within a four-week cycle. The next chapter begins in August. If you are interested in joining or learning more please get in contact and I will share more information.

  • A €100 commitment from each participant is required.* This covers the series of four circles. This financial donation is an indication of personal commitment to the work and acknowledges the time to prepare for and facilitate the sessions.

    The time and resources to facilitate these circles is a privilege. In acknowledgement of this, 50% of each persons commitment is donated to organisations that provide practical, moral and psychological support to those in vulnerable situations, especially refugees and children in disadvantaged communities.

    * Financial means should not be a barrier to this work. So if you would like to join, but can’t afford this amount, please get in touch to discuss.

“I am so happy and grateful that I committed to this men's circle, it's been a real revelation to me. It has given me insight into who I am and how I show up in all the different relationships and situations. But most of all it has opened a space and sense of safety, where I and the men around me can open up and share their feelings in an authentic and vulnerable way. That in itself is so powerful and important and something I have not experienced before. It is among the most transformative things I've ever done and has given me a lot of insight into who I am and more confidence to live my life from the heart.”
