New Man’s Initiative – MCM offers any new attendee to come for free, partial payment or pay the full fee. Please contact registrar@mainecoastmen.net for details.
Saturday workshops are led by participants and are especially part of the weekend theme. Past workshops have included a wide variety of topics on men’s issues, spirituality, sexuality, self-improvement, singing, dancing, drumming, making the perfect cup of espresso, etc. Consider developing one by yourself or co-facilitating a workshop with a friend. It is a rewarding experience to share a passion, an interest or an experience with other men at the weekend.

If you need help, MCM Workshop Organizers will reach out to give you assistance. Funds are also available upon request to cover materials cost.
The Registration Fee for the full weekend is $100. Saturday only registration is $40.
