If you’ve been looking for a deeper relationship to brotherhood, and to practice living in more healthy ways, we invite you here. Haere mai, welcome! Join us as we connect in new ways and build a community of brotherhood in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Last year over 55 men with a 50 year age gap came together for this epic event, this year we're going bigger. Will you join us?

Together we’ll make new connections, have some fun, and celebrate what it is to be a man today.

We begin together at 11am and from there onwards you get to choose from a range of expertly facilitated experiences. We’ll close the day together at 4pm, however you’re welcome to leave beforehand.

We’re a group dedicated to men’s work and community building in Ōtautahi. Many of us run and participate in regular men’s gatherings which aim to create deeper networks of support so we’re more resilient to the challenges of life. Together we practice vulnerability, facing up to our problems, asking for help, and creating the lives we dream of.

Rainbow community men are men, transgender men are men. You are welcome here
