ManKind Project Open Men's Group - in-person event
About the event
Come explore a taste of Men's Work, of meeting with a group of men and being heard and listening to others. The ManKind Project supports a global brotherhood of over 1,000 peer-facilitated men’s groups serving close to 10,000 men each week. In an MKP men’s group, men mentor men through the passages of their lives. We are excited to be able to offer an Open Men's Group on the first (1st) Thursday of each month through the MKP Chicago Community.

We train and support men in circles to create a world where men act on their individual and shared responsibility to foster a brighter future for humanity. We initiate and support men on a path of emotional maturity, spiritual awareness, and deepening community. Open Men's Groups are regularly scheduled gatherings that help introduce men to the experience of connecting and being present with other men. These Groups provide an opportunity for men to practice authentic sharing, reflection, and deeper connection with one another in an open, authentic, and supportive setting. What We Practice in our Open Men's Groups: Emotional Authenticity – Because we believe in honesty and wholeness, we practice emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Personal Responsibility – Because we value integrity and accountability, we take 100% responsibility for our feelings. We own the impacts – positive and negative –intended and unintended – of our choices and actions. Leadership Mastery – Because we believe that role models change lives, we practice highly principled personal, interpersonal, and group leadership. Empowered Mission – Because we value generosity, service, and connection to spirit, we explore and live from our deepest purpose. Supportive Community – Because we care for ourselves and the generations to come, we create a place for men from all walks of life to learn and teach in a safe, respectful, challenging, and inclusive peer-network.
