THE GATHERING – Scotland 2025
Building the Village Again
November 14 – 16, 2025 Friday noon – Sunday 4 pm
The Loft @ East Grange Farm, Forres, IV36 2UD
FOR MKP INITIATED MEN
This Gathering is a call to all men who have taken the risk, crossed the threshold and been initiated. It is a call to return. To strengthen our circles here in Scotland, and to lay the foundation stones for the men who are to come. The heart of this Gathering is Scottish community. At the same time, we warmly welcome brothers from across the UK and Ireland who feel called to sit with us, share, and add their strength to the circle.
CEREMONY AND CONNECTION
Ceremony and ritual have always been part of our work. During these days together we will gather around fire and stone, speak from the heart, and reconnect with the ceremonies and rituals that ground and cleanse us. We shall sit in sacred circle within the dark confines of the sweat house, and there we will Re-member who we are as men.
WHY NOW?
Scotland needs strong, committed circles of men. The UK and Ireland need strong communities too. The men who have yet to come need to see what is possible when men stand shoulder to shoulder – supported and supporting. This Gathering is where we begin again. Where we recommit to each other, to our communities, and to the next generation of men who will cross the threshold.
WHAT WE WILL DO
Deepen our connections as brothers. Share stories and truths that matter, Strengthen our commitment to the work in Scotland, Explore enrolment – how to invite men into this path of truth and love, Hold ceremony that feeds the soul
