What is a Men’s Gathering?

A Men’s Gathering is a space for men to meet, laugh, learn and explore some of the issues affecting our lives.  It allows men to meet in a safe, confidential, and respectful way where we can share our story, reflect on life, have some fun, and better understand ourselves and our place in the world.

2025 WA Men’s Gathering

This year we are celebrating the 31st Annual West Australian Men’s Gathering! We are proud to say that the Gathering has been celebrating men since 1995!

This year’s theme is:

“Growing Men, Growing Connections”

This theme recognises the deep connections and community that many men have built and evolved through their attendance and contribution to the Gathering. We also acknowledge that having nourishing and healthy relationships are vitally important as we traverse the various phases of our lives and the challenges that they bring.

We are eager to welcome all old and new men to attend this year’s 31st Gathering, to rekindle old friendships and bonds or perhaps to find a new space in you, for deep connection, comradery, conversation and community.

We hope to see you there!

The gathering will be held at Camp Kelly located near Dwellingup over the weekend of 19 – 21 September 2025. This peaceful bush setting will provide a back-to-nature feel for the whole weekend.

You can expect fire pits, workshops, great meals, group work, yoga, fun, ceremony, laughter, music, bushwalking, storytelling, and above all… mateship.

The Gathering program starts on Friday afternoon (registration opening at 4pm) and finishes in the afternoon on the Sunday.  You have the option of arriving on Friday afternoon to spend some extra time getting to know the other men participating, prior to the formal program starting.

We are excited to announce that Jordan Hackett has been engaged as our keynote presenter for the weekend!
 
Jordan Hackett is a relationship mentor and men’s sex coach with a training background in rites of initiation, sexology and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
 
He’s felt the pressure, shame and aloneness that so many men live with. From the suppression of his sexual desires as a young man to the challenge and responsibility of what it means to be a good father, provider and partner.
 
Jordan has dedicated his life to supporting men to create healthy, fulfilling relationships and empowered lives of purpose. He was led to this work by his personal determination to continually become the most passionate, purposeful and loving version of himself.
 
Jordan works with men and couples 1:1 and in groups through tailored mentorships and online programs.
