Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Location: your computer or phone
Please RSVP to receive sign-in information

What is a Heart Circle?

In a Heart Circle, we create a safe & supportive space to share any feelings that we may be feeling in the moment, from confusion or sadness to heartfelt joy and appreciation.

We take turns speaking from the heart, agreeing that only one person speaks at a time.

Speaking from the heart, listening with the heart and honoring each other are core values at a Heart Circle.

Charlie M. will be our facilitator.

Please RSVP. This virtual heart circle will be limited to the first 12 men who RSVP. Join the company of warm & wonderful CMG men at this virtual Heart Circle.

Game Night will have an optional 2020 local event planners meeting at 5:45 p.m.
We welcome new ideas and participants!

About the Event

1) 5:45 p.m. Planners Meeting: All are welcome! We’ll look back at the last few events since we last met, recap, and discuss intentions for the next few months.
For those choosing to come to the meeting and election before game night, arrive at 5:45 p.m. so we can start the meeting at 6:00 p.m. We’ll consider events from January to June. Please join us…We love input, ideas, and volunteers!
NOTE: Meeting attendees don’t need to pay the $5.00 for game night!

2) 7:10 p.m. Game Night! We’ll bring a few options and see what jazzes folks. Parking in North Park could potentially involve a little walking, so account for that.
Arrival time for game players who aren’t coming to the meeting so we can start games at 7:15 p.m.

Location:  Private home in Hillcrest. Address given when you RSVP HERE.

Event Cost: $5.00 for game night. Game time is free for all who attend the planning meeting. No one will be turned away for a lack of funds.
Light snacks may be provided; feel free to bring something to share if you like! Bring your beverage of choice. Beer and wine are welcomed at this event.

Parking: Street parking can be a little challenging; be prepared to walk a couple of blocks.

What to bring: If you’d like to bring snacks, everyone seems to like that!

For last-minute questions only, RSVP HERE or call (619) 977-0598.

We’d love to see you there!

All CMG events are drug-free.  This event is NOT alcohol-free. This is a male-only event open to any man age 21 and over, local or visiting.

CMG San Diego welcomes additional support in planning and carrying out the events we offer.
We also very much need additional homes where events could be held.
You need not join the committee to host or work on an event!
If you can help in either respect, contact us HERE.

Pride Mixer with the MAXers

Our friends at MAXSF invite the men of CMG Desert Cities to join them for a joint social mixer in celebration of Palm Springs Gay Pride. MAX is a Bay Area social group with many members who have second homes here in the desert and many members visiting for Pride weekend. It will be hosted by MAX SF Chairman Mike Barsul, at his Palm Springs home. MAXSF has weekly social activities and attendees run the gamut in age and interests and it’s definitely a diverse and welcoming group of men.  This will be a casual mixer/cocktail party and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available, along with finger food. This event promises to be a great way to visit with old friends, make new friends, and unwind before a festive weekend. 

We’d love to see you there! 


All CMG events are drug-free. This event includes alcohol.
Sponsored by the CMG Desert Cities Local Events Committee.
All persons identifying as male 21 or older, local or visiting, are welcome.
To see all events we have going on in the near future, visit the Local Events Page on our site.
If you would like to propose a local event, please fill out the form found at the Contact Local Events Page.

Halloween Party – SD

October 16, 2019 by thegarrick

California Men’s Gatherings / San Diego presents…
Halloween Party for CMG and SAGA Ski Club
Friday, October 25, 2019


Date:
Friday, October 25, 2019
Time: 7:00 p.m. until the spirits move you
Location: Home of Rick Carlson, Located in the Allied Gardens neighborhood, 5564 Fontaine Street, San Diego, CA
RSVP: Not needed! Just come! Costumes HIGHLY encouraged but if you’re feeling overwhelmed by that, just put on a hat or something.
Ages 21+ only on this one.
Event Cost: Potluck item plus $10. Open bar.
Parking: On the street; may have to walk a couple of blocks

From dragons to drag queens…from witches with stitches to bitches in riches! It’s that time of year! Big ol’ fun with about 100 guys most years and lots of costuming!

With community spirit in mind (and just to have more fun), CMG is once again joining up with the already successful SAGA Ski Group’s Halloween Party. Previous years together have brought scores of men in great costumes with tons of food options. CMG warmly thanks SAGA for their openness in creating our combined Halloween event once again and to Rick for again opening his home and their big ol’ deck to both groups!

This is a potluck, so whether that means going all Betty Crocker on us or stopping at the deli counter, bring something good to share worthy of about five people’s appetites. Remember: We can never have too many entrees and salads, so consider favoring that over more cake and candy…there’s bound to be plenty already.

Cocktails and other non-alcoholic mixers are included in your cover charge.

Disclaimer: This event is one where alcohol will be included in your cover charge.  Ages 21+ only.
If you are not comfortable in an environment where alcohol will be consumed, we encourage you to respect your own feelings and pass on this event…there will be many others throughout the year without alcohol!   🙂

CMG members should be 100% responsible for their own safety in departing an event where alcohol is available.
Please have a designated driver or plan to stop drinking LONG before you will be driving.

Our partner in this event, San Diego SAGA Ski Club, provides opportunities for gay men to participate in recreational and social activities. It is the objective of SAGA to provide planned events for ski and sports enthusiasts during the membership season as well as non-skiing activities at other times of the year. For more information about SAGA membership or ski trips (even if you’re not in San Diego): sagasd.org

WHAT TO BRING:  Food to share.  Costumes to delight.  Alcohol will be provided while it lasts, but you’re welcome to bring more to share if you like.

QUESTIONS: Questions will be fielded via replying to this note.

For day-of questions only, call Milo at (619) 977-0598 if you have questions not answered above.

We’d love to see you there!


All CMG events are drug-free, but this event is not alcohol-free, limiting attendance to age 21+.
Sponsored by the CMG San Diego Local Events Committee. All persons identifying as male over 21, local or visiting, are welcome.
To see all events we have going on in the near future, visit the Local Events Page on our site.
