Comments from men that have been involved in the Men's Inquiry -

This is the home website for the Triangle Men's Inquiry meeting. Men's inquiry meetings are monthly meetings of men that use inquiry to enhance their relationships with others and themselves.  The Triangle Men's Inquiry meeting meets on the third Thursday of every month from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. During this meeting, we deeply examine questions of our choosing, genuinely exploring and answering them from our own experiences.  We may discover skills, wisdom, and knowledge in ourselves and each other that we might not have found on our own. New questions are offered for discussion each month. At the end we review what we have learned and what we are willing to commit to changing in our lives from these insights.  This meeting is provided at no charge as a public service.

The premise of this work is that often the behaviors, beliefs, and values which have the most influence on our lives are just outside our conscious awareness.  It is easier to change something once we become more conscious of it. Through this inquiry we can discover what we have not been aware of, allowing us to claim it or change it. A shared dialogue encourages a broadened and more supported view from which we can become more of who we really want to be.

The Intention of the Men's Inquiry Meeting is to create an environment where men can profoundly nurture, trust and emotionally support each other. It is a place where together we explore ourselves, embrace our full humanity, and deepen trust with each other.  The design of the questions is to explore the un-explored, that which is just out side our awareness, in a way that gives us more freedom and power in our lives. Our meeting honors the true essence of masculine energy in a way that supports all life.

Mission of this group:

The purpose of THIS group is building fellowship; that enhances our lives, relationships, and in ways that supports us in clarifying & fulfilling our mission in life.

The meeting is an informal inquiry, which is "a casual discussion examining a question thoroughly, looking at it as though you have never examined it before, with the  intention of discovering something new".
