In 2022, a handful of men gathered above a Shoreham-by-Sea bookshop to discuss life. the Universe, and everything. This was the genesis of The Clearing - a place for men to be in ally-ship, open and vulnerable while observing a respectful confidentiality. if there is magic it's in the sharing of stories, sometimes woven over time. Is it a chat? Yes, and also an intentional, structured conversation.
In-person and online, our gatherings are available to any man; every gathering is free, with donations to the campaign against living miserably
In-person gatherings are currently held in Shoreham-by-Sea and London; they're two hours long.
Camera on? Camera off? Your call.
We meet online for 90 minutes; you're not on mute.
Follow us on Eventbrite for tickets.
