Real Talk, Real Men: A Gathering for Connection & ConversationStrength doesn't mean silence.
In recognition of International Men's Day, we're bringing men together here in Taranaki for an evening of connection, conversation and community.
Life can be busy. We show up for our families, our work, our mates and everyone around us. But how often do we create the space to simply show up for ourselves?
Real Talk, Real Men is an invitation to do just that.
No expectations. No pressure to have it all figured out. No need to be anyone other than yourself.
Just a welcoming space where men can connect, share experiences, listen to one another and have the kind of conversations we don't always make time for.
Whether you're looking to meet new people, reconnect with yourself or simply enjoy some good company, you're welcome.
🔥 WHAT TO EXPECT
🥘 5:00pm – 6:00pm | Shared Kai & Connection
Bring a plate of food to share — ideally something that means something to you. Enjoy some kai, meet new faces and settle into the evening.
💬 6:00pm – 8:00pm | Men's Sharing Circle
An opportunity to slow down, listen, reflect and have real conversations in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. Share as much or as little as feels right for you.
🤝 8:00pm – 8:30pm | Connection & Closing
Time to connect further, continue conversations and take something meaningful away from the evening.
📅 Monday 16 November 2026
📍 Toi Foundation, 121 Gill Street, New Plymouth

WHAT TO BRING
A plate of food to share
An open mind
Yourself, just as you are
International Men's Day reminds us of the importance of men's wellbeing, positive relationships and the value men bring to our families and communities.
This gathering is about creating more of what we all need — genuine human connection.
Come for the food. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something you didn't know you needed.
