Gathering Men

Gathering Men Men’s Health & Well Being. Helping men reconnect. To self. One another. Country. Culture. Wisdom. Community Our Story
It was early evening. We called in a safe space.

Two men sat quietly around a fire on Djaara - Dja-Dja-Wurrung country. When one asked a simple question of the other. An idea was born:

“..What would it take to get a small group of men together for a deeply connected gathering out here on country?..”

That night we dreamt in a powerful gathering. One that redefined the stereotypes around how men connect. A sacred place where men could share open

ly, deeply. To be truly seen & clearly heard. Where time would slow down. Where we would listen to and learn from one another. A place where a man might imagine & welcome in a more connected version of himself. To become a better man

That Autumn, 15 men answered the call. The first Gathering Men took place on country at tanderrum. The land was acknowledged and slowly awoken. Our community backed us. With belief, kindness, encouragement & wholesome food cooked with love. The gentle guiding hand of Gunditjmara - Djabwurrung Elder Uncle Edward Alfred Egan-Lovett helped show us the way. Yet, it was the men themselves that really started something that first Autumn Gathering

With Love,

Brett, Andrew & the team

Gathering Men • Winter & Spring offerings • Tickets live

Together we take the time to pause, breathe and slow down. We rinse away our story and observe what remains. We have a good look at the man we are & contrast that with the man we’d love to be. Then we teach you some of the tools to help you make that transformation.

This Winter and Spring that is exactly what we will be doing at Gathering Men. We invite you to join us on the journey. We look forward to sitting around a fire with you soon.

This work is all about connection. To self, to others in a circle of men, to nature, country, culture, wisdom and the people we love most in our lives. It’s also about our connection to our feelings, both our pain and of course our joy. In these spaces it’s all welcome.

* Winter • On-Country • Full Moon • Open Sharing Circles • 30 Jun • 30 July • 28 Aug 2026.

* Spring • On-Country • Retreat • 4-6 Dec 2026

*All events held at ‘tanderrum’ on sacred Djaara - Dja-Dja-Wurrung Djandak. Limited tickets for all events now live via link in bio.

Hey brothers. Our next Gathering Men • On-Country • Open Sharing Circle happens 5:30pm Sun 31 May.

Places limited to 12 men. Grab a ticket & secure your place in circle. Looking forward to seeing you around the fire and sharing a cup of Chai together afterwards. All details & tickets via link below.

Join our small circle of men for an evening under the stars or in our Community Thipi. This full moon in Sagittarius is a unique opportunity in time to pause, reflect & illuminate. How am I actually feeling? What's really going on for me? What would I love more of in my life? What's getting in my way? What change am I calling into my life?

This is truly a time to slow down & breathe easier. To tread gently & drop in deeper. This open sharing circle provides participants with a taste for what to expect at our longer format On-Country Retreat in Spring.

We challenge men to release what no longer serves them. We teach men how to open their hearts & minds. We guide men on how to embrace the life they love.

It’s the last day of January. Never too late to wish you Happy New Year. All the very best for 2026. May it be a beautiful year for you & yours.

The greenery & steamy monsoonal weather of Bali is a stark contrast to what we’ve all been experiencing out on Djaara Country of late. Dry, dusty & the constant threat of fire in the landscape. If you’re feeling that then these flowers are for YOU!

We’re excited to be holding monthly Open Sharing Circles throughout 2026. Right here at ‘tanderrum’ on sacred Djaara Country. Join us each month on either the full or new moon for a magical evening under the stars or in the Thipi.

Our first Open Sharing Circle happens 6:30pm Feb 17. To celebrate we are offering a 2 for 1 deal with the access code: MENSHEALTH. Reserve yourself a place or grab a 2for1 ticket for you & a mate. Tix & details via link in bio. Enjoy your weekend & hope to see you in circle.

Basking in the afterglow of our Spring On-Country Retreat. These events are truly transformational. No other word for it. We get to witness men connect so deeply. With themselves, each other, Country, culture and all that they love most in their lives. Such a privilege. So much love for the hearts of men. As they shake, tremor & crack open. Letting it all out so that the light may flow back in.

A new facilitation constellation was born this retreat. 4 men helping hold space & guiding safely together. A magical recipe resulting in a beautiful space held safely in all 4 directions. All built on curiosity, creativity, joy, communication, wisdom & experience.

Thank you for your care, vision, belief and loving delivery. Thank you for your love, spirit, song, breath & spark. Thank you .th for your care, honesty, trust & joy. Together, we did it.

Deep respect for .inc & Dave for sharing culture, story, lore and wisdom. Respect to all Dja-Dja-Wurrung mob for your ongoing support. Always was. Always will be. We love this sacred Djaara Djandak & Murrup & bring our best to care & share.

Thanks also to Jason at for his heartfelt catering & food prepared with love to sustain our men. Thank you also to the men who stepped up and supported in the lead up to the event, including .fletcher.315 Scott, .hines.14 & .bark . Thanks to my partner for your hard work, strong support and willingly vacating for yet another gathering. Thank you to my brother forever for all the love you have shared over the last 8 years. Your love & will has helped shape where we stand today. I love what we created together brother.

Finally the brave men who showed up. The perfectly imperfect scallywag souls of the spring 25 retreat. You are why we choose to do this. We loved your courage, spirit and energy. Intentions were clear. Listening was deep. Transformation was powerful. The genius is alive in you - one & all. May you & the people you love most in your lives truly benefit from your strength, vulnerability, love & care.

Checkout the stunning autumn colours here in Nikko National Park Japan! The quiet forest falling, clear flowing river water teaming with healthy looking trout! It’s an amazing place to be right now.

Talking about place, places in circle at our upcoming Gathering Men Spring Retreat are now almost sold out. With a little under two weeks to go, we have space for one or two more men.

This is a beautiful opportunity to take some time & space away from the usual demands of everyday life. To focus on your own health and well-being. To bring your attention inward while retreating outward into the great outdoors. To be SELF-ish in the healthiest of ways.

You end up benefiting deeply from this work as do your loved ones. Limited tickets available via link in bio or gatheringmen.org

Reflections by the River: A Journey of Renewal and Connection. We’re loving the beautiful balance of Japanese life here by the stunning Nikikoshi River on the Izu Peninsula.

Whatever it is, we do, it’s so vital to take the time to replenish and reground. To wash away our story and to re-Ground in our purpose. This November that is exactly what we will be doing at our gathering men spring retreat. We invite you to join us.

It’s all about connection. To self, to others in a circle of men, to nature, country, culture, wisdom and the people we love most in our lives. It’s also about our connection to our breath, our feelings, our hurt, pain and of course our joy. In this space it’s all welcome.

Gathering Men • Spring • On-Country • Retreat • 20-23 Nov 2025 • ’tanderrum’ • Djaara - Dja-Dja-Wurrung Djandak. Spaces now filling fast. Limited tickets still available via Link in bio.
