Men’s Circle at Thrive

An Open Space to Breathe, Move & Connect

Thursday, 2/19 | 6:30–7:45 PM
Sliding Scale: $25–$50

This is the first open Men’s Circle at Thrive, and it’s intentionally simple.

Not a place to fix yourself.
Not a place to perform strength or success.
Not a place to have the right words.

This is a place to breathe, to move, and to connect—to yourself and to other men—without hierarchy, comparison, or expectation.

You don’t need to show up polished, confident, or certain.
All that’s required is a curious heart.

What This Circle Is (and Isn’t)

This is not a coaching session, therapy group, or motivational talk.
There is no pressure to share more than you want.
There is no ranking of who’s doing life “better.”

This is a nervous-system-friendly space where presence matters more than performance—and where being human is enough.

What to Expect

We’ll move through the evening in a simple, intentional flow:

1. Grounded Introductions

A chance to arrive as you are and be seen without needing to explain or impress.

2. Light, Prompted Connection

Optional prompts to support reflection and connection—shared in pairs or small groups—with an emphasis on listening rather than fixing.

3. Breathwork & Gentle Stretching

Guided breath and accessible movement designed to:

  • Release stagnant energy

  • Soften stress and tension

  • Move anger, frustration, grief, and pressure held in the body

  • Create space in the chest, shoulders, and hips

You’ll be invited to reconnect with your breath and body in a way that supports expression, grounding, and relief.

How You May Feel When You Leave

Many men leave feeling:

  • More relaxed and at ease

  • Less stressed, worried, or mentally crowded

  • Less tight in the chest, shoulders, and jaw

  • More connected to themselves

  • Quietly supported by shared presence

No breakthroughs required. No vulnerability Olympics. Just a little more space to breathe.

Who This Is For

This circle is for you if:

  • You’re carrying stress, pressure, or unspoken weight

  • You want connection without having to perform

  • You’re curious about embodied practices like breath and movement

  • You want to feel more grounded in your body

  • You’re open to sitting in community, even if you’re not sure what you need

    No experience necessary. No expectations.

Come As You Are

You don’t need answers.
You don’t need a plan.
You don’t need to be “better.”

Just bring yourself—and let the rest unfold.
