The notion of men gathering to discuss issues is not new, nor is doing it on Zoom or similar online meeting application. Men gathering in a religious context is probably the oldest continuous example of this need. The Shine a Light Men's Project crystalized after several conversations with male friends and a good deal of research on what was already happening in this area. We are very pleased to become affiliated with Joyful Mind Zendo, and appreciate in particular its emphasis on joyful experiences. Heartfelt thanks to everyone involved, we offer deepest gratitude.

Welcome to the Shine a Light Men's Project, we are glad you're joining us. Ours is a discussion forum for anyone identifying as a man. This is a call to action by men, for men. This action is for the benefit of participants, loved ones and the greater community.
