A Project UNcivilized Global Event
Men need men.
Join the largest coordinated men’s gathering in modern history.
Host a Circle on November 19th International Men’s Day
What is 1000 Circles?
What is 1000 Circles?
On November 19th, men all over the world will gather in living rooms, garages, parks, gyms, churches, and backyards.
With one shared belief: Men need men.
Not to fix each other.
Not to compete.
Not to perform.
But to speak honestly.
To listen deeply.
And to remember that none of us were meant to do this alone.
Host a men's circleWhy Does This Matter?
Because too many men are suffering in silence.
We’re taught to go it alone.
To stay strong.
To stay quiet.
To carry the weight ourselves.
And the cost is staggering.
Men are dying younger.
Men are more isolated than ever.
Millions of men feel disconnected from purpose, community, and belonging.
Let’s change that.
Who Is This For?
The man willing to gather a few friends and start a conversation.
The man who wants stronger communities and healthier men.
The man who knows brotherhood still matters.
The man willing to go first.
No experience necessary.
We’ll show you how, and send you everything you need to confidently host your gathering.
Host a Circle:
- In your living room or garage
- At a local park
- At your gym, dojo, church, or men's group
- Around a fire pit
- Anywhere men can gather
All we ask is that you register your circle so we can count you toward our goal.

Men's Groups Change Lives.
Sometimes They Save Them.
Why This Matters to Me
Two years ago, my cousin Chris took his own life.
To me, he wasn’t a statistic.
He was a husband, a father, and the older brother I never had.
And like so many men, he carried more than anyone knew.
His death made something painfully clear:
Too many men are carrying life alone.
Too many men don’t have a place where they can speak honestly, be heard, and know they’re not the only one struggling.
That’s one of the reasons we’re doing this.
Because if gathering a few men in a room gives one man a place to be seen, heard, and supported, it’s worth it.
And if enough of us do that, perhaps we can change the story.

Never Hosted a Circle Before?
Perfect.
Most of the men who host a circle this year won’t be professional facilitators.
They’ll be fathers. Friends. Coaches. Business owners. Brothers. Ordinary men willing to go first.
That’s why we'll provide free online host training sessions to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported.
You’ll learn:
✓ How to create a safe and powerful space for men
✓ How to facilitate honest conversations without needing all the answers
✓ How to navigate emotional depth without becoming a therapist
✓ How to handle common challenges that arise in men’s groups
✓ How to embody the UNcivilized Ethos as a leader
We’ll show you the way.
On November 19th, men around the world will gather in living rooms, garages, parks, gyms, churches, and backyards.
