As part of Movember, join us for Beyond Muscle - an open discussion on what it really means to be a man. This positive masculinity session will challenge outdated stereotypes and explore new, healthier ways of thinking about manhood. Whether you’re looking to reflect on your own identity or explore new ways to support the men around you, Beyond Muscle is about empowering everyone to embrace their full potential beyond the stereotypes.

Let’s move past the old-school definitions and build a version of masculinity that’s inclusive, supportive, and positive.

What to Expect

This session will break down traditional ideas of masculinity and create space for redefining what it means to be strong, vulnerable, and authentically yourself. Through guided conversations, we’ll tackle topics like emotional expression, mental health, and how to balance personal strength with kindness and empathy.
