Here’s what past participants are saying:

  • Who would have thought a bunch of men, strangers mostly, could open my heart so, with just a few words and a bit of connection?

    André

  • You have cultivated a space for men from all walks of life to feel comfortable and welcomed into a community that strives for deep reflection, vulnerability and accountability. Thank you for your commitment, love and care for me and the others in this group. You’re an inspiring leader of Men.

    Josia

  • You have created such a beautiful apace for men to be vulnerable and feel connected.

    Mark

  • I owe you so much thanks for everything so far! It's been on a level I couldn't have anticipated. 

    Reuben

  • Practical and inspiring, definitely a great way to describe Monday night’s circle conversations. Powerful stuff, facilitated brilliantly.

    Nick

  • Joining this men's circle group has been a profound opportunity for men to experience personal growth and emotional support in a safe, non-judgmental environment. This group has fostered self-awareness, improved communication, and accountability, while also fostering deep connections and a sense of belonging.

    Peter

  • Joining the men's group has been a transformative experience for me. It provided a safe space where I could freely express my vulnerable self without the fear of judgment. This sense of security allowed me to explore and understand my emotions in a way I hadn't before. I’ve also forged deep connections and friendships within this group that have enriched my life. If you're considering joining, I wholeheartedly recommend it; it's an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and meaningful connections that I'm truly grateful for.

    Dylan

  • Joining a men's circle has been one of the best things I have done. It should be an essential part of life for modern men. It creates connection and supports a greater appreciation of healthy masculinity. It fills a void that I'm sure many men are not even aware of.

A place to connect – to self, to others and to a more authentic experience of what it means to be you.

Purpose

To cultivate and nurture a safe space for men to connect with self and others. To learn, to grow, to take greater responsibility for our lives and the impact we have on others. To be of service to our families, communities and the planet upon which we live. To be more kind with ourselves and others.

Who is it for?

  • Men who are living a life of quiet desperation, want to make a change but don’t know where to start.

  • Men who desire personal growth.

  • Men who have tried lots of different strategies, programs, courses and are still doing the same thing.

  • Men who want to create a new paradigm of masculinity in their life and for their relationships.

  • Men who desire connection and community and who want to share the journey with others.

  • Men who are ready to embrace vulnerability and listen to self and others.

  • Men who are generous and enjoy supporting others.

  • Men who are consistent, reliable and willing to show up.

Who’s it not for?

  • Men who know everything already.

  • Men who are desperate to punish themselves into 10x’ing, optimising, short-cutting and productivity hacking their lives with strategies that are harmful or extractive.

  • Anyone with a saviour complex to rescue or fix others and give unsolicited advice.

  • Misogynistic or sexist men who are desperate to maintain the power differential for their own sake.

  • Closed-minded and judgemental men who are not willing to lean into cognitive dissonance and the vulnerability associated with growth.

What to Expect

  • ✺ Connection

    Weekly gatherings online. Connect from the safety of your own home. You’ll build connections and relationships with other men sharing a similar experience.

  • ✺ Be Celebrated

    You’re doing great. You’re human, too. There will be setbacks and lessons to learn but we’ll spend time each week focussing on the wins that happen too, and we’ll celebrate you.

  • ✺ Be Challenged

    We’re here to grow, to stretch into a better version of ourselves. That’s going to be unfamiliar and it’s going to take courage. You will be challenged and you will be supported.

  • ✺ Integrate

    You’ll get to know parts of yourself, some of which may have been hidden for most of your life. You’ll learn how to connect with these parts and build trust. This is a big step on your journey back home.

  • ✺ Be Witnessed

    Something very special and powerful happens when we get together and share our experiences. When we are seen, heard, witnessed and honoured by other men. It’s a gift to give and an honour to receive.

  • ✺ Belong

    Loneliness is perhaps one of the greatest mental and physical health challenges facing us in modern society. We no longer have places to gather, to connect and be in the company of others. This is a thriving community and you belong here.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • We meet online via zoom. We also organise quarterly gatherings in person in Melbourne and the Gold Coast, you are invited to these and welcome to join.

  • We begin by creating the space, acknowledging our rules of engagement and grounding ourselves with a short, guided meditation. We then check-in and begin. I’ll introduce the topic and theme for discussion, share some research and conversation starters. You then have the opportunity to share or to contribute. There’s an opportunity for coaching if you ask for it. We wrap up by honouring each other and what was shared and check out. This is a 2hr session.

  • You’re not alone! Most of the men I’ve worked with are doing this for the first time and turn up with some trepidation and uncertainty. We ease into it, you’re not obliged to do or share anything you don’t want to. The feedback after the first couple of sessions from most men is that they wished they’d done something like this a lot earlier in life.

  • That’s fine, it happens, you have other commitments and things pop up. We ask that you simply let the group know. You won’t be disadvantaged for missing a session and I’ll catch you up on what you missed.

  • Yes. Each group has its own dedicated WhatsApp group chat to stay in touch and share updates throughout the week. I email you during the week too, with some follow up resources. I’m available via WhatsApp, email and voice memos to support you through the duration of the course.

  • No. This is not therapy and it’s not a substitute for therapy. If you’re experiencing acute mental or physical issues, see a trained and registered practitioner. This is a facilitated experience that may involve coaching however. I’m a trained and qualified teacher and coach and have been doing this work for over 20 years.
