About the event
Five years ago, Jeff Kruger and his mate, Mitchell Rowing, started a group based on just that – men getting together every Sunday morning to take a walk, talk, and connect in the beautiful Minnippi Parklands. The structure of the group is ideal for its participants; it’s a regular and reliable healthy activity, it’s there when needed with no compulsion, expectations or dress code.
The structure also offers a safe space for communication. Men who have been brought up to believe that they’re obliged to be consistently strong and brave, to “have it all figured out” in Jeff’s words, can find face-to-face conversations about personal matters difficult. Walking side by side outdoors triggers more unselfconscious communications.
