Connecticut Men's Gathering (COMEGA)
"The purpose of
the Connecticut Men’s Gathering is to empower men to create and foster a
community where the invitation is to break down the internal barriers that cause
isolation." "Through various workshops and activities, . . . COMEGA provides an
open, trusting, non-competitive environment for men of all ages, races and
backgrounds to openly share and learn from each other. Men are encouraged to
bring their sons."

Granite Men's Gathering (GMG) - New Hampshire
A holistic weekend retreat approach to

to provide a safe place for men of all ages to gather in brotherhood and
to safely explore traditional and non-traditional views of masculinity and of
themselves. Located in the mountains of New Hampshire, this summer camp setting
overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee. Men are encouraged to invite their friends,
brothers, fathers, and older sons.

Mainly Men (MM)
Mainely Men is a twice-yearly weekend
conference in which men gather in a quiet, rustic lakeside settling in central

Maine, ten miles southwest of
Augusta on Lake Cobbosseecontee. Mainely Men provides a comfortable environment
in which men may examine traditional male roles, or explore what it means to
assume alternative roles.

Massachusetts Men's Gathering (MMG)
The
Massachusetts Men's Gathering is a participant-organized and participant-led
weekend held in the Spring and Fall in North Oxford, Massachusetts at the Clara Barton Conference Center, just
west of Worcester. Activities during the weekend are both
structures and unstructured. Each man attending may choose how much or how
little he wants to do during the weekend.
The men who make up MMG are a diverse group. They travel from all over to attend,
with states as far away as Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey represented. Canada
is also often represented.
The Gathering provides an open, safe environment for men of all ages and
backgrounds to make new friends, renew old friendships, share experiences and
life wisdom, and to learn from each other in a non-competitive environment.
The MMG weekend offers a self-opening experience that gives each man the
opportunity to let down the protective barriers that ordinarily protect him as
he experiences the outside world. Further, the weekend offers men the chance to
be true to your feelings, weaknesses and power without judgment or criticism. It
can become a weekend focused on growth and renewal, but is totally each man's
choice. At MMG, together we grow as men in a community of men.
MMG attendance averages about 45 men.
Activities during the weekend include Opening and
Closing Circles where each man has a chance to introduce himself and say a few
words about why he has attended and what he has experienced. Four optional 90
minute workshops slots fill Saturday and Sunday. With several choices of
workshops offered in each slot, these workshops are led by the men attending the
gathering, and may include activities such as cooking, massage, idea sharing,
Active Stretching, thoughtful aging, writing, drawing or Yoga. A Talent Show, drumming,
singing, dancing, instrument playing, story telling and poetry reading fill
Saturday evening. Affinity Group meetings can be announced by anyone who wants
to get together and share a subject or idea with the other men.
Meals are tasty and satisfying with vegetarian choices
offered for those who prefer. Beverages and snacks are available throughout the
weekend.
The Clara Barton Conference Center is a privately owned
camp. Located on the site of the birthplace of the American Red Cross founder,
Clara Barton. This newly built, fully
comfortable all-in-one sleeping/dining
complex overlooks a pond and woodlands on a little-traveled country road. For
those who would rather pitch a tent and sleep outdoors, there is ample
opportunity for that as well.
The Cost for the weekend is offered on a sliding scale
based on each man's income. A reasonable fee for the weekend covers everything
-- room, board, workshops and all activities. Partial scholarships are available
and donations towards scholarships are always welcomed.
Minimum age is 18.
Men are encouraged to bring their sons, sons-in law,
fathers, uncles, neighbors, co-workers, fellow parishioners and friends.
Check the MMG website for up-to-date Fees, sample menus, photos
of past Gatherings and memory videos.
