Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Register for a Monday circle through its Eventbrite listing, or email info@thefatheringcircle.com to ask about joining before you come..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The circle is a peer support group where men talk with each other about raising a young person. The group does not describe its session format or activities on its pages.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask first whether a new man can drop in or must register
  • If email does not get a reply, call 215-487-5918, the number in the 2024 join post
  • Check the Facebook group for news about upcoming circles

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The 2024 join post names Eventbrite, email, and phone as ways in, but the group's own contact page is a form with no join steps, and the post does not say whether a first visit is drop in. Attendance is limited to men 17 and older raising a young person..
