Our 39th gathering is Thursday, March 15 at 4:00pm Untill Sunday March 18, 2012

The purpose of the Connecticut Men’s Gathering (COMEGA ) is to empower men to create and foster a community where the invitation is to break down the internal barriers that cause isolation. This breaking down of barriers inspires the courage in each man to consciously explore the challenges in his life, and to bring forth his authentic self. He is empowered to bring his newly found awareness, commitments and passions back to his relationships and to his community. Twice a year this opportunity is experienced as a weekend format where men are provided this chance to safely journey from their heads to their hearts, thereby revealing and celebrating their true masculine spirit, often experienced as a feeling of brotherhood.

Through various workshops and activities, in small and large groups, COMEGA provides an open, trusting, non-competitive environment for men of all ages, races and backgrounds to openly share and learn from each other. Men are encouraged to bring their sons. This is a wonderful opportunity for young men to watch other men at play and men sharing from their hearts.

We are adding an extra day: It will be $85 for the Workshop alone. $225 for all four days, and $165 for the regular weekend gathering. For the regular weekend gathering, the gates will open at four as usual. Michael and Gary have put together what looks to be an awesome opportunity for men to examine their self worth. I encourage all to attend and support our fellow COMEGA men and expand your own personal growth.For more information contact:

The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save.
