Men in Wyndham will have the opportunity to walk, talk and express themselves in a non-judgemental environment while enjoying a free coffee.
The Men’s Reset & Walk will take place at Lollypop Creek Community Centre in Werribee, from 8-10am on Saturday, May 10.
Hosting the session through his group Core Journey Transformation, Cameron Terrill said the idea came from his own need to speak openly about his thoughts with other men in a non-judgemental space.
“I’ve found that when you allow yourself to be vulnerable, it’s surprising how many other men you meet who are experiencing similar thoughts and struggles,” he said.
“Yet, in Australian society, we’re often discouraged from expressing vulnerability, which leads to many men silently battling with their own thoughts.”
Mr Terrill said he chose a Saturday morning to walk because it provides men with a positive spark to start the weekend with.
Having recently participated in a three-month men’s immersion program with a diverse group of men from all walks of life, Mr Ternill said sometimes a stranger can be the easiest person to open up to.
“Personally, I’ve found it can often be easier to open up to another man who isn’t a close connection, as they bring no preconceived ideas or biases into the conversation and can simply listen,” he said.
“Male friendships are especially important in the age of social media because of the pressure to present only the ‘highlights’ of our lives but rarely the struggles or failures.”
Mr Terrill said he would like to expand into a dedicated women’s reset and walk experience.
