The Code

• Phones off — full presence required.

• No drugs or alcohol.

• Be on time, communicate if you’re late.

• What’s shared in the group stays in the group.

• No unsolicited advice.

• Feedback calls men forward — never shames or belittles.

Membership

• Closed group, capped at 10 men.

• Commitment is essential: miss 3 meetings in a row and you may be removed.

Leadership Roles

• Moderator (rotates quarterly) – Guides the circle and holds structure.

• Lesson Provider (rotates weekly) – Brings a short teaching for discussion.

• Retreat Coordinator (rotates every 6 months) – Plans retreats and group outings.

Retreats

• Twice a year, we step out of our routines and into shared experience—camping, fishing, golf, or time in nature. These retreats deepen brotherhood and push us beyond comfort into growth.
