Whole Man - An Holistic Approach to Mens Health & Wellbeing
Whole Man has been running each month since November 2024. Whole Man is a space for EVERYDAY Men from all walks of life to come together and connect.
Men's mental health has unfortunately been overshadowed by societal expectations and stigmas. Men's mental health concerns have historically been under-discussed and under-addressed.
Whole Man is a program that will help men come together with connection, and feelings of inspiration. Each month we share that it's ok to reach out and ask for help, and that asking for support is not a weakness — or guys can come and simply listen!
The Whole Man monthly events are a compassionate, confidential, safe and sacred container, promoting open conversations — with men sharing their stories, or just coming to listen and know that you're not the only one carrying the same issues.
Our amazing speaker this month is Javier Ugas — Becoming a Conscious Co-Parent
Javier Ugas is a formally trained coach, a father, and a passionate advocate for conscious co-parenting and masculine wellbeing. With a focus on conscious co-parenting and mental wellbeing for both men and women, Javier brings together his professional training, personal experience and years of involvement in men's wellbeing to support people through some of life's most challenging transitions. His work centres on helping separated and divorced parents navigate the often-complex relationships between themselves and, most importantly, their children. He believes that separation doesn't have to mean the end of a healthy family dynamic — but it does require awareness, responsibility, communication and a willingness to grow.
As a father himself, Javier understands that parenting is not simply about providing for our children, but about how we show up, communicate, manage ourselves and continue to grow as human beings. He is passionate about supporting men to develop greater emotional awareness, presence and responsibility, and to create healthier relationships with themselves, their co-parents and their children.
Connect with like-minded men and explore pathways to thriving, not just surviving. Each month there is one amazing guest speaker for 25–30 minutes and a chance to share (or not) — to listen with a compassionate heart.
After the speaker we dive deep into a tranquil world of sound and vibration with Maria's magical crystal bowls. Let Maria guide you to a state of profound peace and realigning of your mind, body and spirit — releasing energy blocks and emotions out of the body without speaking a word!
Please add yourself to our private FB group to find out more about future speakers each month. Feel free to bring your mates along — there's no commitment to come each month. See you there!
ALL WELCOME!
