What is your true calling?
What is the gift you must give to the world before you die in order to feel satisfied that you lived a full life?
If you don't know your purpose in life and you want to uncover it — or, you know and you want to be supported in fulfilling your mission — visit us.
We have been fostering community for men in the Bay Area of over 20 years.
"Admit to yourself that if you had to choose one or the other, the perfect intimate relationship or achieving your highest purpose in life, you would choose to succeed at your purpose."
The Way of The Superior Man
The Men's Circle is a group of men committed to supporting each other in living our purpose.
We meet weekly on Wednesdays in San Francisco and in Berkeley, usually at Ocean Beach or Tilden Park around a fire. We also have a team that meets consistently online, so while we are primarily based in the bay area, men are able to join from anywhere in the world.
Who are we?
Although we're happy to discuss the many benefits of participation, we don't disclose details about what any man says or does during Circle. Confidentiality is crucial so that every man feels can safely express himself. Read more about us in the San Francisco Chronicle, which includes non-confidential details such as the fact that we meet around a fire.
Trust & Confidentiality
Being part of The Men's Circle is free, other than an occasional, low-cost contribution for securing firewood or a campground.

Testimonials

"I was a bit skeptical of The Men’s Circle at first, because I had done a lot of personal development work and the whole idea seemed a bit new-agey to me. However, after attending a couple evenings, I discovered that it provided a unique brand of no-bullshit inspiration, encouragement, support, accountability, and depth that fundamentally changed my life. It made me a much more powerful man, in my business, in my marriage, and in the mirror."

"Before joining TMC, I was already very balanced between my masculine and feminine sides. Once I started spending time with just men, in an intentional way, I gained the ability to be either more masculine, or more feminine, depending on what the situation requires. I have more freedom now and that's been helpful in my work, and also in my romance with my wife."
–Elon
"As a result of having been in The Men's Circle, I have grown up and now know what it is to be a Man. Old boyhood notions of Manhood have been transformed and discarded. I am clear about my Purpose and have claimed my rightful place as a Man in family, career, community, relationships and the world. The Men's Circle has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life."
