Connection Circle

This month we’re exploring a question that comes up constantly in modern gay dating:

Is romance dead… or has it simply changed?

Many of us grew up with ideas of romance that looked a certain way: sweeping gestures, courtship, tender moments.

But the modern gay dating landscape can feel very different: apps, options everywhere, situationships abound.

So what actually counts as romance in the modern gay world? Is it disappearing? Or has it evolved?

In this Connection Circle, we’ll explore how gay men today think about romance, intimacy, and effort in dating.

You’ll start in a larger group, then move into small breakout pods of 3–4 men for honest conversation.

Come share your perspective, hear how other men experience dating today, and maybe rethink what romance could look like now.

Overview

Gay Men’s Brotherhood Connection Circles are for gay men wanting a safe place to converse and share personal experiences.

Connect directly with other members of the community in a small, intimate virtual setting.

The Connection Circles will foster conversation, collaboration and support from your fellow brothers. Our intention for this offering is to create a safe space where we can get to know one another more intimately and alleviate the loneliness and disconnection we see so much in ourselves and our community.

Here’s how the connection circles will work:

We will gather in one large group and the facilitator will review ground rules and offer a topic with some discussion questions. We will then break off into small pods of 3 where you can share personal experiences, insights, ask questions, or provide support to others – just like we do on the Gay Men Going Deeper podcast!

This is perfect for those of you who are too shy to speak up in the large groups during our sharing circles. Smaller groups allow for people to take the time to get to know one another where friendships can form. This is also a great opportunity to connect with people that you might not otherwise connect with because the pods will be assigned randomly.

Unlike our Sharing Circles, there is an expectation to share at this event in the small pods.

Looking forward to seeing you there 🙂
