Adult friendships are hard in a world that feels more digital, divided, and disconnected than ever. This Connection Circle is all about what it really takes to build and maintain genuine friendships as a gay man, and how to build a chosen family you can truly rely on.
The holiday season is the perfect time to talk about the friendships that sustain us, why so many fade, and how to build the kind of community that carries you into the years ahead. Come share, listen, and connect with other men who get it.
Gay Men’s Brotherhood Connection Circles are for gay men wanting a safe place to converse and share personal experiences.
The purpose of these Connection Circles are to give you a chance to 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
