BROS · Online Circles

Every month, men around the world gather on Zoom for BROS online circles.

The time of the lone wolf is over.

Join the BROS online circle to see and be seen by good men — a mix of connection and challenge — from the comfort of your own home.

Men have been gathering around the fire for thousands of years.

There's a quiet crisis moving through men right now. It doesn't look like crisis.

It looks like a man going to work, coming home, scrolling, sleeping, repeat. “I'm good mate, just busy.”

It looks like a man with hundreds of contacts in his phone and no one he could call at 11pm on a Tuesday when something inside him is breaking.

So we go quiet. We perform fine. We perform strong. But a man was not built to carry it alone. That's why we sit around the fire.

Not therapy. Not advice. Just a space to be real.

No answers handed down, no programme pushed to fix you. Just a room where you can be real — where another man nods and raises his hand because he too knows that joy, or that pain, and the sense of being alone begins to dissolve. A place where you remember, maybe for the first time in years, that you're not the only one who feels this way.

The warrior doesn't sharpen himself alone. He needs his brothers.

Here's how it goes

Two hours on Zoom

Once a month, 7–9pm NZ. Cameras on, small group. Come exactly as you are.

Held by LISTENS

Our circle agreements — the simple tools that keep it safe and real.

Read the agreements

A cup of tea & a journal

Whatever you need to bring to feel comfortable and safe.

Pay what you like

Koha. Whatever's right for you, even nothing. Money is not a gateway, and we appreciate the support if you feel the call.

In the safety of your own home Good men from around the world
The agreements we hold

Our agreements — we LISTEN

A few simple agreements keep the circle safe, honest, and real. We name them together at the start, every time.

L

Lock In

Be fully present — here and now. Take a deep breath and let go of the day, your to-do list, and any expectations. This is a space for you.

I

I-Statements

Speak from "I." Own your experience. None of this "you know when you get angry at your wife..." nonsense — just your experience.

S

Sacred

This is a sacred space. Speak and listen with care. Your words hold weight and power — choose them carefully.

T

Time

Respect the time. Start and finish strong. Honour your brothers by being on time.

E

Engage

Listen like you are hearing something for the very first time. Acknowledge a man after he shares — "kia ora." Use gestures to show you understand.

N

No Distractions

Mute your phone, be fully here. Your full attention matters.

S

Seal It In

Confidentiality — what is shared here stays here. This is a private container. Respect yourself and your brothers by keeping it that way.

Choose your circle

Pick a date and claim your seat. We'll send the Zoom link and a reminder before we gather.

More men around more fires.

This is the core mission of BROS Aotearoa — our guiding principle for the work we do.

Belonging isn't a bonus. It's a need.

As primal as food, sleep, and movement. The pathway to belonging — it's medicine. When you're ready, step in. You don't need to be broken to come here. It's also a space to celebrate your wins.
