Messages from our Memory Book

One of the best things about MMG is that it allows me to talk about issues and ideas I wouldn’t allow into ordinary consciousness. – Joe T.

Thanks to you all for making a new guy feel so welcome and comfortable! – Ken E.

This was my first weekend. I did things (singing, dancing) that I ordinarily wouldn’t have done. – Mike H.

What I learned about myself will spill over into my relationship at home. And I came here believing I was an open guy! – Mike H.

My second MMG experience was touching on a number of levels.

The key is the quality of the men who seem to check their coats of armor in their vehicles in the parking lot.

This was my third time at MMG. The first two opened my eyes to issues I was confronting in life. – Gerry L.

I leave with an understanding of what I need to do until I come back next year. – Gerry L.

I find myself laughing more at MMG than in any other setting. And I am more willing to cry openly.

Dear Charlie, Remember you need to go to MMG! – Charlie B.

Why is it that MMG we are more playful with, and yet more respectful of other men?

The weekend was more than I expected: friendship, support, fun, education, and great food!

Thank you all for setting me back on my path! – Dave S.

Deep, sweet gratitude for men who speak and listen from the heart, sharing knowledge, stories and insecurities. – Will

What a great time! It seemed to pass so quickly. To digest it all will take a while. I feel real good, happy and serene. – Bill K.

The healing that I received this weekend is profound. – Arthur

MMG is growing inside me, and I am growing inside MMG

For the first time in my life, I had someone-several men, actually – to talk to about my feelings and problems.

Embers of friendship have warmed the cold pains of my marriage problems.

Je ne trouve pas l’equivalent dans mon pays, peut-etre parc que MMG est tres unique. (I can’t find an equivalent in my country, perhaps because MMG is very unique.)

I have never had the courage to ask for male friendship until now.

My comfort zone gets challenged here, but the atmosphere is safe.

Laughter and the drone of men’s conversations in the dining hall = music to my heart!

Men are so beautiful! – Jonathan

When I walked through the doors the first time, I was accepted right away. – Kevin H.

The more time I spend at MMG, the better I am at keeping my heart open all the time.

Invite someone you know to come with you so he won't feel alone!
By helping a friend or colleague register and attend our next weekend, you extend MMG's reach into the community.
We can supply you with fliers you can post (with permission) at libraries, gyms, community centers, grocery stores, building lobbies, therapist waiting rooms, and almost any appropriate place you can think of. Email them to friends. Hand them out at your Meetup groups, book clubs, or your next neighborhood barbecue!
Word of mouth is the best way you can introduce new men to MMG!

What are workshops?

Workshops at the Massachusetts Men's Gathering are participant-led spaces designed for connection, discovery, and shared growth. Rather than formal lectures or academic presentations, an MMG workshop is an authentic invitation to explore a topic together—whether through creative expression, open discussion, physical movement, personal reflection, or hands-on skills. Led by attendees who bring their own passions and life experiences to the table, these sessions offer a supportive environment where men can step outside their daily routines, drop their usual defenses, and engage deeply with one another. Whether lighthearted and playful or quiet and contemplative, every workshop centers on human connection, mutual respect, and the simple power of showing up as yourself.
