Three women curating an event about men's wellbeing might be pretty unconventional, but here's why this matters to them.

"In building my wellness marketplace and reviewing wellness experiences across London, I noticed there were countless activities for women, but found it difficult to find the great groups that existed for men.
Thinking about the amazing men I know who are curious about exploring how to take care of their wellbeing and couldn't find the spaces -- I decided to create an event and see what men/men's spaces that I would find!"

"Growing up, I rarely heard the men around me talk about what they were really going through. They simply carried on.
When I later built a community for people to find support and encouragement, I was surprised by how many men showed up having honest conversations about family, health and chasing their dreams.
This event is dedicated to the strongest men in my life who didn’t have spaces like this when they needed them most."

"’I've witnessed just how important it is for men to have spaces where they can openly talk about the crazy adventure that is life. Too many men are carrying things alone when they don’t have to, and I’m passionate about helping create environments where those conversations can happen
Through running my events photography business which finds unconventional ways to capture moments of joy, I've seen that even in serious conversations, it's okay to create spaces for joy and laughter."
