The UNcivilized Men's Initiation: A Reintroduction to the Primal and Divine

International Men’s Day

A Project UNcivilized Global Community Activation Event 

A Project UNcivilized Global Community Activation Event 

November 19th, 2025

We’re not giving men a day.
We’re giving them a circle.

Guys, every year when International Men’s Day rolls around—and most of the world either laughs, mocks, or ignores it. The jokes fly, the memes get shared, and nothing changes.

  • Men keep hurting.
  • Men keep isolating.
  • Men keep drinking.
  • Men keep numbing out.
  • Men keep disappearing.
Enough is enough.

By the time you’ve read this far, one man has taken his own life somewhere in the world. Three more will do the same by the time you get to the bottom of this page. A father, a son, a cousin, a brother, a friend.

Maybe you know him. Maybe you’re related to him. Let that actually sink in.

Why 1,000 circles, and why now? Because:

Most men live in isolation, even if they have family and friends.
We’re taught to go it alone.
To stay strong, stay silent, and stay safe.
But the truth? That silence is literally ruining our lives or worse – KILLING us .

Now let’s change that – together.

On this International Men’s Day, Project UNcivilized is flipping the script.

We’re calling on men to come together on one day for one simple, ancient, and revolutionary act:

To sit shoulder-to-shoulder with 3 or more men in 1,000 men’s circles all over the globe.

Not to fix each other. Not to compete. But to listen, speak, and be seen.

This is how we change the story for men. All men. Ourselves included.

Who Is This For?

  • First-time men's circle hosts
  • Experienced men’s group leaders
  • Men looking to reconnect with their community and buddies
  • Therapists, coaches, and facilitators
  • ANY man who cares about men’s health

Hosting a circle is SIMPLE!

  • You don’t need to be a coach or facilitator. 
  • You don’t need to have a degree in men’s work.
  • You just need to gather a few men—and start the conversation.

You Can Host a Circle:

  • In your living room or garage
  • At a local park
  • At your gym, dojo, church, or men’s group space

All We Ask Is That You Register your circle, so we can count you towards the global goal!

Men's Groups Matter.
Men's Groups Change and Save Lives.

 

How To Join The Movement 

REGISTER TO HOST A CIRCLE on November 19th, 2025

We’re calling on men across the planet to step up.

If you have 3 or more men willing to sit together and have a real and honest conversation with each other, you’re already a circle.

Register your circle — whether it’s 3 or 30 men.
Get equipped — we’ll send you everything you need to lead.
Make it count — your circle will be counted towards the 1,000.

After you register your circle, you’ll get:
  • A complete Circle Host Facilitator’s Guide
  • A simple framework for your group
  • Three questions for each man to answer
  • Access to a global map of participating circles
  • The option to attend the circle host training call

The truth is simple:
Men heal in circles, not on their own.

The Project UNcivilized men’s movement was born from a single truth: men aren’t broken — they’re disconnected. Disconnected from their hearts, their brothers, their families, their communities, and their purpose.

Men’s groups offer something rare:

  • A place to be seen and heard without judgment.
  • A place to feel powerful and vulnerable at the same time.
  • A place to be challenged and called forward.
  • A place to finally drop the mask and speak the truth.

In a world that tells men to “man up” or shut up, circles give men permission to simply be men — fully, deeply, humanly.
