Founder
Pedro L. Rodriguez is the founder, leader and facilitator of the Circle of Men. After several months of contemplation, reflection, preparation, and research the Circle of Men was started on a Friday evening on July 6, 2018 with three male friends.
He is also the founder of the Latino Men's Circle started on May 23, 2021. The first virtual gathering had five men in total.
Pedro’s life’s mission is to empower, inspire, teach, lead, and connect with men. His intention is to create an inclusive and diverse, sacred and safe space driven by compassion, non-judgment, civility, hospitality, and growth.
He formed the group out of a desire for connection, community, support, encouragement, brotherhood, friendship, exploration, growth, and accountability with like-minded men. His personal spiritual values and his own struggles with depression, loneliness, and emotional conflict, were all contributing factors in starting a men’s group that might also help other men going through similar struggles.
