A Men’s Wellbeing Experience

On the ENGIE Stadium pitch | Sydney Showground | March

This is not a talk.
This is not therapy.
This is a 3-hour reset designed for men who are carrying a lot - and rarely stop.

Held on the ENGIE Stadium pitch, this immersive Men’s Wellbeing Event brings men together in a powerful, grounded environment to reset their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and leave with practical tools they can actually use in everyday life.

Created for everyday men - fathers, partners, professionals, tradies, leaders - this experience focuses on preventative mental health, stress regulation, resilience, and performance, without stigma, labels, or “wellbeing fluff.”

What makes this event different
Set on the ENGIE Stadium pitch
— a space that feels strong, familiar, and grounding
Practical, experience-led sessions (not lectures or therapy)
Tools you can take straight back into work, relationships, and life
A rare opportunity for men to reset before burnout or crisis

What to expect
Across the day, participants will experience:

  • Breathwork and nervous system regulation
  • Movement and embodiment
  • Cold exposure
  • Sound and deep rest
  • Lived-experience conversations around pressure, identity, and leadership


All sessions are practical, accessible, and built for beginners and experienced men alike.
