OUR PURPOSE
A day for growing stronger, together.
A full day for men and women who want to grow as people and feel more rooted in their community. Practical tools for handling stress and showing up for the people in your life, and honest conversation with people who care about the same things you do.
The day is built on a simple idea: when we take care of ourselves and show up for each other, everything around us gets better.
THE PROGRAM
What you'll experience
Fireside Panel
A moderated fireside conversation with four local leaders on how we show up for ourselves and for the community around us.
Nervous system regulation
Short guided practices for staying steady under pressure. Breathing, simple movement, and self-regulation practices.
Communication frameworks
Practical skills to navigate challenging conversations. What you learn works at home as well as at work.
Authentic connection
One-on-one conversations built on questions you don't usually get asked. About what you actually want, and what's been getting in the way.
Growing together
Men and women together in one room, discovering common ground and shared purpose. More connects us than divides us.
MOVEMENT & FUN
Laughter, play, and shared experience. Connection grows through having fun together as much as through deep conversation.
Real change happens in two places: inside us, and between us.
How the day runs
Doors open
Registration and coffee.
Opening remarks
Why this day exists.
Steady under pressure
A short, practical session on settling your system before a hard conversation. Tools you'll use again Monday.
Into the woods
A walk through the trails with one conversation partner. Out one way, back the other.
Team challenge
Small groups, one build, a clock. More fun than it sounds.
Past small talk
Guided conversations, one-on-one and as a full room, that build trust faster than most people think possible.
Lunch
Full catered meal by Guacamole.
Games
Fast, a little ridiculous, and good for the room.
Honest communication
Practical skills for saying the real thing and listening so people feel heard.
Clarity and listening
Small-group communication practice. Speaking with more clarity, listening more closely.
A moderated conversation with local leaders
Closing session
What you're taking with you, and one last round as a full room.
THE FIRESIDE PANEL
Four local leaders, one honest conversation
A moderated conversation in the afternoon on how we show up for ourselves, and how that changes things for the people and the community around us.

Co-invented the world's first rechargeable magnetic card and built contactless payment systems in France in 2008. She ran a tech company for eight years until the industry under it collapsed, then rebuilt differently. Her position: rigour and intuition aren't opposites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is it?
Rotary Lodge, Centennial Park, 125 Rotary Lodge Lane, Moncton. Free parking on site.
Is lunch included?
Yes. A full catered lunch, plus coffee and tea in the morning. Tell us about allergies or dietary needs when you register and we'll take care of it.
What should I bring and wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. A water bottle. A journal and pen if you like to write things down. The lodge can be cool, so bring a sweater or a blanket if you run cold.
Do I need experience with this kind of thing?
No. The day is practical work on how we talk to each other and how we handle stress, so you'll leave with things you can use at your kitchen table on Monday. It's all explained in plain language, and there's nothing you're asked to believe.
Do I have to take part in everything?
No. Every activity is an invitation, and you can sit any of them out without explaining yourself to anyone. That goes for the movement, the partner exercises, and anything involving physical contact.
I'm coming on my own, and I'm not a natural in a room full of strangers. Is this for me?
Yes, and plenty of people will be in the same spot. The day is guided the whole way through, so you're never standing around working out who to talk to. Most of it happens in pairs and small groups rather than in front of the room.
Is this a men's event that women are invited to?
It's built for both, and it only works with both in the room. Men and women lead the day together, on the facilitation team and on the fireside panel. The whole point of the day is for men and women to hear each other directly, which requires a balanced room.
What if I can't make it?
Tickets aren't refundable, but they are transferable. Send someone in your place and email us their name so we've got the right headcount for lunch. If something serious comes up, email us anyway, and we'll sort it out.
Come as you are.
Leave rooted in something stronger.
