About us
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.

Men's Day Retreat - Joy and Meaning
The Retreat, Warburton, Yarra Valley, AUMen's Day Retreat: Living with joy and meaning
Living Well involves finding joy and meaning in life.
In troubled or uncertain times, when facing personal challenges or dealing with relationships, we can find joy in daily activities while shaping our lives to be fulfilling and meaningful.
"Joy is much bigger than happiness. While happiness is often seen as being dependent on external circumstances, joy is not. " ~~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Our discussion will explore stories and strategies for living with a greater appreciation of the joy we can experience and the sense of meaning which gives our lives purpose.
Join us to reflect and share your experiences of living with joy and meaning, learn from others, and explore living well together.RSVP for the day retreat which provides space for discussion and reflection on each person's own situation. The day also includes a walk by the river after lunch.
