Men’s Circle
A Men's Circle is not about becoming something new, but about remembering who you already are beneath the noise of daily life.
We are co-creating a relaxed space to come as you are- talk, listen, and just be. Whether you're new to men's groups or a seasoned participant, everyone’s welcome!
The goal is creating a space conducive to being real with oneself and others, no more no less. We come together in a structured intentional gathering to share experiences, emotions, and shed light on our inner-world. Together we create the safe, confidential, and supportive environment, where we can be our honest true-self, absent self-judgment or otherwise.
Come As You Are… Be Yourself Without Pretense.
The strength of the Circle lies in our respect for each other. No pressure, just the core principles that cultivate trust: commitment to confidentiality, non-violence, punctuality, and respect for boundaries.
Men's Circles are rooted in ancient traditions where men would gather to share stories, seek advice, support one another through life's challenges and be open to the potential of personal growth.
Hang out, be real and we can build something meaningful together.

Reid Lopes
Coach/Mentor
After getting sober in 2012, my life took me on a journey around the US (and a few other countries). Navigating the world with this new found perspective led me on a journey of deep inner work and self-discovery, learning from and integrating the many mistakes made along the way. My ability to relate, connect with, and empathize with others stems from a deep desire to share unique life experiences and support others in navigating their own.
As a native of Sonoma, I am excited to play a part in bringing an intention-centered men’s group to my hometown. Though I’m just starting out on a new path of becoming a coach/mentor– helping facilitate in group work and circling is the natural progression of knowledge I’ve accumulated throughout my life and through work in related fields. All of those journeys inform my approach, which is open, vulnerable, empowering, and based in real lived experience.
SONOMA- every 4th Monday of the month 6:30-8:00pm.
