Men's Circle in Canterbury, Kent

A men's group in Canterbury, the way it used to be done

Long before therapy rooms and waiting lists, men gathered. Around fires, in workshops, in barns and on hillsides. They sat together and they spoke honestly. Not always about feelings. Sometimes about work. Sometimes about loss. Sometimes about nothing at all. But the gathering itself did the work.

That's what this is. A modern men's circle in Canterbury, held in the simplest, oldest way. Men sitting in a circle. Men speaking honestly. Men standing alongside each other for a couple of hours a month, so that the rest of the month feels less heavy.

You don't need to be in crisis to come. You don't need to be a man who already talks about his feelings. You don't need to know what you'd say. Most men arrive not knowing. That's part of why it works.

The circle meets at The Yurt at The Quiet View, in Kingston, just outside Canterbury. A beautiful, quiet, sacred setting that supports the kind of honesty and stillness this work asks for. A wood burner in winter. The sound of birds in summer. And a room full of men who, like you, came because something in them was looking for it.
