The men's
circle.
Most men have colleagues, teammates, group chats, and almost nowhere to say a true thing out loud without managing how it lands. The men's circle exists for that gap: an online room, every other week, where the only job is to speak honestly when it's your turn and to listen like it matters when it isn't.
Held by Gerald.
The facilitator
Gerald holds the circle the way he holds all his work: not about fixing or forcing change, but about creating a grounded and compassionate field, his words, and after one session you'll know they're accurate. He's part of Lunita's resident circle of facilitators, and the men's circle is his ongoing room in the community.
What a session
holds.
The format
A welcome, an opening, usually a theme: work, fathers, anger, the things men inherit and the things they'd rather not pass on. Then the circle: each man speaks in turn, uninterrupted, for as long as he needs. No advice unless it's asked for. No one-upmanship. The form doesn't allow it. Passing is always allowed, and plenty of men spend their first session just listening.
What it isn't: therapy, a support group with a curriculum, or a place anyone will make you perform vulnerability. It's simpler and older than all of that.
Come once.
Joining
Online, every other week, alternating with the women's circle. Write to info@lunitajungleretreat.com for the next session's link. Come once; the circle will make more sense from inside it than from this page.
Whenever you're ready.
Three paths. One jungle. The next move is yours.
