My wife had "women's circles". Essentially a baby shower but with more spiritual overtones. Women giving women advice, passing around a candle, etc...More on the discussion, less on the gifts. So knowing that is not what "guys" do, one of my best friends organized a "Man's Square". We made fun of the idea but 4 guys all showed up at my friend's house and we spent some time talking about being dads. Three of the guys were friends and in their early thirties and one of the guys was my friend's Dad in his early sixties. It was really cool to hear from him and his perspective years later. Of course we joked about plenty of spouse and kid issues but overall it was taken seriously and everyone enjoyed the new experience. Anyway. The name is completely stupid but the experience was totally worth it - Andrew Loved the post and it got me thinking about my experience.
