What we’re about
The Men Being Well program ("MBW") is an initiative by Relationships Australia Victoria and the Life Is Foundation. Men Being Well hosts monthly in-person Men’s Gatherings or conversation groups the last Wednesday each month, and several Men’s Day Retreats throughout the year that include discussion about life issues and challenges as well as specific themes at times.
Event dates are posted on this Meetup group or can be viewed on the Relationships Australia Victoria website.
***Please note that you need to have been in contact with a program facilitator prior to attending any in-person meeting.***
MBW began in 2021, emerging from the former DadsLink program. Men Being Well is focused on positive mental health, wellbeing and resilience and the programs include regular general discussion about life issues and challenges that participants may face, as well as particular topics and themes at times. The format is relaxed and welcoming and a safe place to reflect on your own personal journey.
We look forward to welcoming you at Men Being Well events.

See all- Men's Day Retreat: Mid-Winter ReflectionThe Retreat, Yarra Valley
YOU are invited to join us for our Day Retreat for Men on Saturday 26 JULY from 10 AM to 4 PM at The Retreat in Warburton in the scenic Yarra Valley.
Our theme for the Retreat is Mid-Winter Reflection as below.
“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” -- Joseph Campbell
In adjusting to our world filled with conflicts, perennial themes such as am I happy?, where am I heading in life?, what do I really want?, how do I manage uncertainty and change?, seem even more relevant.
While several ‘life perspectives’ will be presented, the essential focus of this Retreat is on personal reflection and how these themes relate to you. There will also be an introduction to mindfulness and relaxation to assist the journey.
So join us around the fire for conversation, connection and reflection on deeper life issues.
“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.” -- Joseph Campbell
RSVP for the day retreat which provides space for discussion and reflection on one's own situation. The day also includes a walk by the river after lunch.
Our Day Retreat is open to all men and offers an opportunity to reflect on different aspects of well-being and consider insights on living well.
