Hutt City Men’s group

This group is about creating a respectful, supportive space for men who want to better understand themselves and show up more fully in their lives. The goal isn’t to “fix” anyone or tell people how to be a man, but to offer a place where we can talk honestly about emotions, relationships, challenges, and growth. These are things many of us were never really taught how to do out loud.

I’m hoping to bring together men who care about becoming better partners, fathers, friends, sons, and members of their community. You don’t need to have everything figured out, and you don’t need to be in crisis to belong here. This group is for men who are curious, reflective, open to listening, and willing to look at their own patterns with kindness and accountability. Whether you’re navigating relationships, work stress, identity, emotional regulation, or just wanting deeper connection with other men, you’re extremely welcome to take part.

At our meetups, we’ll primarily focus on guided conversations in a safe, confidential environment. That might include open discussions around emotional awareness, communication, masculinity, boundaries, conflict, mental health, purpose, and personal responsibility. The emphasis will be on listening as much as speaking, supporting rather than fixing, and sharing from personal experience rather than giving advice unless it’s invited. Over time, sessions may evolve into more practical events, but primarily this will be a place to make friends and speak honestly without judgement.

As the group gets established, we’ll occasionally meet in person as well as online, depending on interest and availability. I’ll be facilitating the group and organising the meetups, making sure the space stays respectful, inclusive, and focused on growth rather than judgement. The intention is to build something steady and genuine, a place where men can practice emotional honesty, learn from each other, and leave feeling more grounded and connected than when they arrived.

If you’re looking for a space to speak openly, listen deeply, and grow alongside other men who are trying to do better, or would like to even have a chat one on one with myself please do join. You are safe and you are welcome :)
