Chew Valley (South Bristol)

 

We meet around the fire on the first Wednesday of the month in a woodland roundhouse in the beautiful Chew Valley, just outside of Bristol. 

 

We believe that gathering around the fire is part of what makes us human, and when we lose this simple way of being together in community, we lose a part of ourselves. We gather together to listen and to share our stories with each other.

 

Whatever is present in our lives, be it joy or sorrow, triumph or failure, grief or gratitude. We honour the whole of our journeys and the challenges we face as men in today's world. We welcome losing our way and finding it again, our wounding and our healing.

​

This group is a confidential space, where we do not attempt to rescue or fix each other. We listen without interruption, judgement, criticism or advice. We are simply here for each other and with each other. Like a forest, we are stronger together and can share the weight of anything we have been carrying alone.
 
We welcome our joy and our brokenness and welcome you to join us with your joy and brokenness. However you are, you are welcome, and you are needed.
 
This is primarily a sharing and listening circle, with occasional meditation, contemplation, drumming and silence. Nothing is compulsory, no skills are needed, everything is invitational and everything is welcome.
 
This group is inclusive of all who identify as men, including all nationalities, religions, cultures, class, ability and disability, neurodiversity, status, sexual orientation, ethnicity, education, age and any other personal or culturally assigned identities. All are welcome, with the only exception being that participants must be above the age of 16.
 
If you have any questions, concerns or would like to join us, please contact Sam or Tom using the form at the link below.
