MEN'S CIRCLE
One space. Many perspectives.
In the men's circle, men with different experiences and backgrounds come together. We listen to each other, ask questions and share what's on our minds. Everyone decides for himself how much he brings in.
THE CIRCLE
What makes the circle.
There's no expectation to be strong all the time, and no obligation to talk about personal things.
A light facilitation helps keep conversations respectful. It doesn't create a therapeutic or hierarchical relationship. The quality of the circle comes from the people who are there.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is a men's circle?+
A men's circle is a space for conversation where men listen to each other, ask questions and share experiences. Everyone decides for himself how much he brings in.
What happens at a men's circle?+
We sit in a circle while one person holds the frame. After a short check-in, anyone who wants to talks about what's on his mind – the others listen. An evening lasts about two and a half hours.
Do I need any experience?+
No. No prior experience is needed. Listening is just as welcome as speaking.
Can I come just once?+
Yes. You can simply come along once and see whether it suits you. There's no obligation to come regularly.
Are there men's circles in Hamburg?+
Yes. Our next evening circle is on Thursday, 10 December 2026 at 7 pm in Hamburg St. Pauli. Our current focus areas are Hamburg and Berlin; men from all over Germany are welcome.

No. The men's circle is not psychotherapy or treatment and is no substitute for medical or psychotherapeutic care.
