The Massachusetts Men's Gathering is a no-pressure, participant-led men's retreat weekend which has been held every year in the spring and in the fall since 1989. Currently we meet Fri eve. thru Sunday midday at a North Oxford, MA (Worcester area) conference center. Veteran MMGers wanted a mid-winter daylong mini-reunion to which they could bring their men's groups, family members and friends to see for themselves "what they would be getting themselves into" if they attended a full weekend.
Drop by anytime between 10 am and 3 pm to sample the sharing circles and mini-versions of some typical workshops, or just chow down and shoot the breeze with some regular attendees. If you sing, play an instrument, or do any kind of entertaining, consider coming prepared to join our day end talent jam.

No Charge. No Pressure to Sign Up.
