About this Event
Why do men and boys continue to live sicker and die younger? What social systems and cultural expectations shape this reality—and how might we begin to change them through love and compassion?
Join the Male Wellness Collective for an evening of honest dialogue, reflection, and co-creation. Building on our June 26th event with the Peace and Justice Institute, this interactive World Café–style event invites participants to collaboratively explore how social norms, relationships, and community structures influence men's health and wellbeing.
Through guided conversation and shared storytelling, we'll work together to map the barriers men face and envision new systems rooted in empathy, connection, and collective care.
This is not a lecture or a panel. It's a community design experience that values lived experience, shared insight, and compassion as tools for change.
Whether you're a man, a parent, practitioner, educator, student, partner, or community member, as an ally, your voice matters in this conversation. Come ready to listen, share, and reimagine what a healthier future for men and boys could look like. This event is a part of a series to help build a culture of compassion and care In Central Florida for our boys, men, and their loved ones.
