Men's Meet – Stretch, Connect & Be

Guided by Nigel

Join us for a relaxed evening created exclusively for gay & queer men to slow down, move your body, meet like-minded people, and simply be.

Whether you're coming to make new connections, unwind after a busy week, or spend some time looking after yourself, this is a welcoming, supportive space where there's no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

Everything is gently guided, so you can arrive, switch off and enjoy the experience.

Come & Connect Beforehand

For anyone who'd like a little more time to meet and connect before the evening begins, we'll be meeting at Queer Lit at 6:30pm for tea and a relaxed chat.

We'll then walk over to Yoga Republic together for the event. This is completely optional — you're equally welcome to meet us directly at the venue.

Stretch & Mobility – Ease tension from the body with gentle movement and mindful stretching.
Connection & Conversation – Simple guided conversations to help you meet others in a relaxed and natural way.
Breath & Relaxation – Gentle breathing practices to calm the nervous system and bring you into the present moment.
Tea & Community – Share a warm cup of tea and enjoy informal conversation.
Restorative Sound Bath – Crystal alchemy bowls, chimes and grounding instruments to help you deeply relax and integrate the evening.
