MKP UK&I Rainbow Circle

MKP UK&I Rainbow Circle is a community of Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning+ (GBTQ+) identifying men who have completed any NWTA (New Warrior Training Adventure), either in the UK or Ireland or anywhere else in the world.

We ask that any initiated man who wants to join us identifies as GBTQ+ and has a link with the UK&I community. The Rainbow Circle is a place where we can give and receive support, share our stories, make connections with other GBTQ+ initiated men who are based in the UK and Ireland and socialise. There are several ways that you can join the Rainbow Circle and connect with others, these are detailed below:

Rainbow Circle email list – This is the easiest way to connect with others from the Rainbow Circle. It’s where we share and connect with each other and it’s also where we provide information about upcoming events. If you identify as GBTQ+ and would like to join the Rainbow Circle email list, please contact us HERE

Rainbow Initiated Connection Circle (RICC) – takes place on the third Monday of each month between 7pm and 8:30pm. It’s a space where MKP initiated GBTQ+ men can check-in and share what’s going on for them. RICC isn’t an iGroup it’s a facilitated drop-in space where you can sit with others like you and listen to them and share. Details about RICC are shared on the Rainbow Circle email list and if you’d like further information please contact HERE

Rainbow Open Connection Circle (ROCC) – takes place on the fourth Monday of each month, once again between 7pm and 8:30pm. ROCC is also a space for GBTQ+ men to check-in with each other. It’s a space for GBTQ+ who want an introduction to what it’s like to sit in a circle with other GBTQ+ men. Further details of ROCC are given in the regular MKP newsletters or can be requested HERE

NWTA for GBTQ+. - Unlike other NWTAs, this one is specifically for men who identify as GBTQ+. Most initiates and staff are GBTQ+. It’s a good way to connect with others and to be of service. The next NWTA for GBTQ+ men is scheduled for 24-26th October 2025, Sheffield, England. (Staff attend 23rd-26th) - all details are given regularly on MKP UK&I Announcements.

Other events – Members of the Rainbow Circle often organise events for others in the UK&I community or across Europe. Events like the Rainbow Warrior Gathering are an opportunity to connect with other GBTQ+ men from many European Centres. There are also GBTQ+ trainings such as GUTS practise days or social connections such as meeting for lunches. If you’d like to know more about any of the above or join our facilitation teams for RICC or ROCC please get in touch HERE
