A Men's Weekend

The Sacred Circle is held every year in August at the height of summer at a remote private location in the Puget Sound region, in a natural setting of trees and local wilderness. A Gathering of Men creates in The Sacred Circle a clearing in which a man can increase his awareness of being a man. The Sacred Circle is not therapy, but an experiential program, requiring physical and emotional strength and courage, for it will challenge the initiate. At the same time, The Sacred Circle is open to any man who feels he is up to the challenge, regardless of age or physical limitation.

Modern culture has abandoned the male spirit.

Primal cultures were aware of the importance of rites of passage, marking a crossing into manhood.  What remains of these rituals in modern society is often an empty shell, providing little in the way of  guidance and soulful transformation.  We stumble in our search for the meaning of our own maleness... The result is often a loss of deep, grounded masculine spirit.

Inside each man, the embers of the masculine spirit are still alive, waiting to be fueled into the fire it was meant to be: powerful, secure, and driven by conscious intention.

A Gathering of Men, Puget Sound's foremost men's group, is a not-for-profit community of men who create safe, confidential, and sacred spaces where men discover and explore their authentic selves.
