Monday Men

Regular, closed men’s circle
Begins April 2026, twice monthly

A collaboration between Zigmal eV and SiD Systemik im Dialog Berlin gUG

Every two weeks a chance to meet face-to-face, share and listen.

Monday Men is a regular men’s circle for 8 participants.
It’s a place to focus on simple human connection and practicing communication.
The group currently has 3 spots open.

Disclaimer: While being part of this group may support you through difficult times, it isn’t a replacement for therapy.

The details…

Monday Men is run by Zigmal e.V. in collaboration with Berlin Men’s Group and Systemik im Dialog.

From April to June 2026, we’ll meet every two weeks on Monday evenings, for two hours.

The next dates are: April 13 & 27, May 11 & 25, June 8 & 22

There’s a cost involved as a contribution towards the space and materials.
We’ve kept that as low as possible.
A total of 40 € from each man covers all six sessions for all three months. You can attend as many sessions as you like.

After the first three months, the group will choose what comes next. There could be a summer break, or the group may decide to continue.

This could be useful if you’d like to…

Connect in person with other men in Berlin
Build real-life bonds, especially if you’re new to the city
Explore ideas and challenges that matter to you
Look more closely at your experiences and how you express them
Experience a low-pressure introduction to men’s work

What we’ll do…

Each session will include:

Welcome – greeting and orientation from the host
Opening round – describing briefly what things are like for you
Sharing round – expanding on your thoughts, speaking freely
Deepening round – a chance to offer each other questions
Open discussion – explore what emerges together
Closing round – share what you take away from the session

In addition, there may be:

Partnered conversation
A topic of the week, chosen by the group
A little movement, such as stretching or short breaks to move around and reset attention

No prior experience neccessary, and no preparation needed.

About the host…

I’m Hans. I’ve been running men’s groups for 12 years. I’m one of the founding members of Zigmal eV, and have been co-organising of the Berlin Men’s Group for five years now. I’m a certified systemic counsellor, specialised in supporting men.

For Monday Men my style will be practical and down-to-earth. I help maintain structure, keep things on track and support the group so that each man can explore what matters to him in his own way.

I’ll be aiming to create a space where men can speak honestly, listen to each other and look at important things without it feeling heavy or complicated.

If you’re curious but not sure if this feels right for you at the moment, you’re welcome to send me an email to request(at)zigmal.org
You can ask me anything you like.
