Today, men in our circle have decided that the wisest course of action is to meet online via Zoom. The WHO declaration of pandemic issued on March 11, the rapidly changing landscape of major events and gatherings being postponed or canceled, and engagement with local authorities and medical experts are some of the factors that inform this decision.
As of September 2019, we have moved into a new location about 5 minutes from Shinjuku station south exit. Last night we had a productive meeting regarding building a future for men’s work in Tokyo, starting with funding(¹) for our room. (¹) Currently we are not covering the cost of the room 100% with weekly donations. We have used funds collected in our old (free) location to make advance payments for our room reservation, so we technically have a slight buffer. [Read more...]

The men’s circle now meets every Tuesday. Register to join us online.
The co-gender circle will meet every Monday starting in February. Soon the men’s circle will meet every week as well, I am fairly certain.

Tonight the co-gender group had its first meeting after our initial 8 meetings. Two new people came and seemed keen enough that they will attend again.
