Aotearoa Men's Wellbeing Summit

• Events

Men have gathered around the fire for millennia. This alcohol free event brings men back around the fire for real conversation, nutritious food and connection around the things in life that matter.

The 2026 Aotearoa Men's Wellbeing Summit promises to be even more powerful than the inaugural gathering in 2025. It is a chance to meet and connect with inspiring men in the wellbeing space, many of who are holding space for other men going through tough times. Wherever you are on your wellbeing journey, this a chance to listen in to other men's stories of transformation and getting through life's struggles.

It is a chance to experience wellbeing modalities you may not have tried before, in a safe space, like meditation, purē, mindfulness, breathwork, Qi Gong and Yoga.

Last year 50 Tāne from different communities around Aotearoa gathered at the Summit to purify, transform and vision up a better future for themselves, their whanau and community. The goal in 2026 is to see 100 Tāne around the fire, in deep korero and transformation, and we invite men from other projects abroad to join us in Aotearoa for this Summit.

The venue is Opoutere on Aotearoa's eastern coast, where the mountains meet the ocean, and the nature is pure, calm and pristine. Turn the devices off for a few days, and immerse yourself in the essence of the Coromandel - Good for your Soul - on this transformative 3 day journey, designed especially for men. It is here, you'll find your inner essence, and your own vision, for the future. Mauri Ora!
