Men's circles, dinners, and gatherings for people who are done doing life alone — in Berlin and beyond.
About Mike
I grew up in New York City. I took a bet on a fully remote sales job before remote work was a thing, and my life expanded. Thirty-plus countries. Total freedom. People told me I was living the dream. They weren't wrong. But deep down I knew something was missing — a career with real purpose, a relationship built to last, and a body I was genuinely proud of.
In 2020, a two-week trip to Berlin turned into two years when COVID grounded my flights and I decided to stay. When that relationship ended I kept moving — a ski season in the Alps, six months in South America, six months in the US, another season in the Alps — before choosing to come back to Berlin for good. This time to stay, and to do the real work. The kind that changes how you show up, not just how you look on paper. That process changed everything: how I lead, how I decide, and who I became on the other side of it.
These days, most of my work happens in rooms, not sessions — men's circles, dinners, and gatherings where people drop the performance and actually connect. Coaching is still part of what I do, one-on-one, for people who want to go deeper. But the rooms are where I'm spending most of my energy, because I think that's what's missing most right now: real, in-person community that isn't trying to sell you anything.
My Approach
"You're calm, measured — a mirror with the right amount of push and pull. You ask good questions and give me space to respond. I can talk to you about my relationship in a way I can't talk to others." — Dakota, 1:1 coaching client

Château du Feÿ · October 8–11, 2026 · 66 souls
From October 8th to 11th, 66 of us gathered at Château du Feÿ for four days that are still echoing — honesty, music, movement, and the kind of presence that's rare to find in one room. The Venus Calling was never meant to be an escape. It was an invitation to come home to something real, together.
We're endlessly grateful to everyone who said yes — who traveled, opened up, and trusted a first-of-its-kind gathering before it had any track record at all. You made it what it was.
This was chapter one. The next Eternal Love Gathering is already taking shape for Spring 2027 — if you want to be part of what's next, get on the list.

It's not like going to the bar and drinking beer and talking about problems.... It felt like being hugged. I thought it was pretty fucking cool and I really enjoyed it.— Björn, Men's Circle participant
I came in mentally exhausted. I left feeling really clear, calm, and a lot better. The feeling of community was really healing.— Mark, Men's Circle participant
I feel really light and good. I put everything in my calendar. I feel really refreshed — and ready to keep moving.— Oliver, Men's Circle participant
I've been talking about our men's circle quite often, and basically everyone I've told — men and women — sees this safe space as an absolute dream for men.— Andi, Men's Circle participant
This was fruitful for me. I feel that's the most important thing — you don't feel bored, you actually feel it was worth something. Mike managed to put structure without killing the flow.— Farouk, Men's Circle participant
Before I started, I was unhappy, lost, and frustrated — mostly at myself. I knew I was misaligned but didn't know how to change it. What I've gotten is clarity, calm, and a completely different understanding of my relationship. Things are smoother. I've come a long way and I finally see it.— Dakota, 1:1 coaching client, 6 months
Men's Circles
I started hosting men's circles because I needed one and couldn't find it. Not a self-help seminar. Not a bar. Something between — where men could sit with each other, tell the truth, and actually do something useful with it.
Each circle has a theme, a guest facilitator, and a few hours of real conversation. You leave with something you can actually use.
Monthly · Up to 12 men · Urban Healing Unit · Rotating guest facilitators
Monthly · Starting January · Open to men globally · Via video call
