Chiswick Men's Circle

Chiswick Men's Circle is a talking circle for men in Chiswick, taking place at the Catholic Centre opposite Chiswick Library on the first and third Thursday of the month, starting at 7pm and running for 90 minutes. The circle takes place in Room 2 on the first floor.

It's an open space, held by a skilled facilitator (that's me, Aris), and it's a space for men to get together and talk about the goings-on in our lives. The circle follows a loose structure of a check-in, a space for open sharing and a check out at the end.

Everyone who attends the circle is invited to share, but no one is forced to. It can be a scary thing to take part in a sharing circle, and you're doing a great thing for yourself purely by showing up. It might take a while to feel comfortable with sharing, and that is okay. Wherever you are on your journey, we support each other with where we are.

If you have any questions at all, or if you're feeling unsure about whether this is the group for you, please do get in touch.

I look forward to welcoming you to our circle soon.

About Aris

I am a racialised (non-white) man of mixed heritage - both white and Asian. A born Londoner, I grew up in Chiswick and have lived here for most of my life.

I have years of experience when it comes to facilitating groups and circles of various sizes. It's something I like to do and something I've been told I'm quite good at. Chiswick Men's Circle is not my first men's circle, but it's my first time doing something in my hometown: an initiative to support men's mental health in the place where I grew up.

Accessibility

The group is held in Room 2 at Chiswick Catholic Centre, which is located on the first floor up a flight of stairs. Unfortunately, there is no lift available. If there is anything else I can do to aid your participation, please do get in touch through Eventbrite.
