Life's a lot easier with good men around you.
Mensch is a community for men to do life together.
Based in North London, we bring men together through weekly men's circles, small groups, retreats, challenges and community events to build deeper friendships and navigate life alongside other good men.
Life's pretty full.
Work. Marriage. Kids. Money. Parents. Health. Ambition. Friendship. Who you are. What you want. Whether you're doing enough. Whether you're doing too much.
Most of us have people we can talk to about parts of it.
But surprisingly few men have somewhere they can bring all of it.
So we carry it.
We think about it. Avoid it. Occasionally lose our shit about it. Sort ourselves out.
And start again.
Mensch exists to give men somewhere else to put it.
Not because there's something wrong with us.
Because life is better when you have good men alongside you.
Honestly, it's easier to experience than explain.
Sometimes we're sitting in circle talking about what's actually going on in our lives. Sometimes we're freezing our nuts off in a lake. Sometimes we’re going wild with our partners and kids are with us at Menschfest. And sometimes we're sipping coffee whilst laughing at ourselves a fire.
Underneath all of it is something pretty simple:
Be here now. Speak from the heart. Listen generously. Walk through your fear.
We don't always manage that alone. That's why we practice it together.
So what actually is Mensch?
Start here…
Join us at a Mensch Morning
Challenge. Coffee. Circle.
Every Friday morning in North London, a small group of men get together for a sauna, cold plunge or wild swim, followed by coffee and a facilitated men's circle.
Two hours to get out of your head, put some stuff down, connect with some good men and head into the weekend feeling a little more human.
Fridays · 8:30–10:30am · Maximum 6 men
Come this Friday
Find your Pack
Six men. One regular space. No need to pretend you've got everything sorted.
A Mensch Pack is a small group of men who meet every month to talk about the stuff we don't always have somewhere useful to talk about.
Marriage. Fatherhood. Work. Money. Ambition. Sex. Purpose. Fear. Getting older. Or simply whatever is keeping you awake at 3am.
Your Pack becomes your group within the wider Mensch community.

Bring the people you love with you.
What's the point of doing all this work if the people we love most never get invited into it? Throughout the year, we create experiences that bring our partners, kids and families into the world of Mensch too.
Mother's Day. Father's Day. Menschfest. Menschmas.
Chances to play, celebrate, connect and make some memories together. And once a year, we'll leave them all at home and head off on a proper men's adventure.
See what’s coming up
You don't need to be into "men's work".
Seriously.
You don't need to meditate.
You don't need to know what a men's circle is.
And you definitely don't need to arrive ready to divulge your deepest childhood trauma to six strangers.
Just come as you are.
We'll take it from there.
What the Men of Mensch say
Rather than waxing lyrical about why we think you should join, here’s what our community think.
“You can be vulnerable without feeling insecure, honest without feeling judged, and emotional without feeling weak. A truly enriching experience.”
Russell - Mensch, Husband (not just a Serial Entrepreneur)
“Mensch feels like a lungful of air”
Ravi - Mensch, Dad (not just an IT Director)
“I came today with so many stresses and I've left without a worry in the world.”
Jack - Mensch, Adventurer (not just a Film Maker)
Probably easier to experience than explain.
Come along one Friday morning.
Get in some cold water. Sit in a sauna. Drink some coffee. Sit in circle with some good men.
See what you think.
