At the heart of these gatherings is the sharing and council circle, a practice that has its roots in the ancient traditions of indigenous peoples around the world. Drawing inspiration from Native American cultures, where elders and communities gathered in circles to solve problems, make decisions, and heal together, the council circle is a sacred space for storytelling, deep listening, and genuine connection. In these traditions, the circle symbolizes unity and equality—there is no hierarchy here. Each man’s voice is valued, and when you speak, you’re speaking not only for yourself but for the collective.

During the men's circle, we use this practice to foster trust, respect, and emotional honesty. The circle provides a space where you can express your truth without fear of judgment, knowing that your words will be met with open hearts and ears. As the talking stick is passed around, you’ll experience the power of being heard and witnessing the stories of others. In this shared vulnerability, we find strength, community, and brotherhood.

But it’s not just about words. Our circles blend the wisdom of the past with physical embodiment practices, offering a balance between mind, body, and spirit. Through primal movement, sparring, ice baths, and breathwork, we reconnect with our bodies, allowing us to release tension, anger, and stress that may have built up over time. In embracing these physical challenges, we reclaim our power and energy, grounding ourselves in the present moment.
