Men's Circle

Open men's circle Wednesday 1st May.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians past present and future. 

The Coburg open men's circle is a supportive, accepting and confidential space that welcomes people to participate in whatever capacity is true for them.

It celebrates diversity and offers an open space inclusive of race, sexuality, and religion.   

We aim to create opportunities to connect, learn and strengthen the way we show up in the world by building deeper connections within self, family, and community.

The circle is a supportive and dynamic environment where you get to explore parts of yourself.  

Please join us fortnightly at:

Newlands Neighbourhood house

20 Murray Rd, Coburg

6:30 - 9:30 pm Wednesday 1st May

Gold coin donation, yet this is not compulsory for attending.

Free

We have a cot to give away for free. We are moving overseas and it needs to go ASAP.

We had to put support brackets on it at one point. It has few scratches but works totally fine and converts in to a toddler bed. It's a Boori cot, is complete and could come with a mattress.

Comes from a smoke and pet free home.

Please pick up in Preston, Sussex street.
