Nelson Men's Groups Newsletter - November 2025

Hello Everyone,

Just a heads up for you guys in the Nelson area about International Men’s Open Day. We have recently been reminded about our achievements in all this work. We have a vibrant Int. Men’s Day here. I believe we were the first ones and it is ever so slowly spreading around the country, notably with Bear in Christchurch doing their version of it.

We also run the nationwide website that is hugely impressive and getting quite comprehensive. Have a look, guys. Alek has done a sterling job.

We also host 4 retreats per year that attract some men from outside the region.

We have some 10 groups in Nelson now plus the ones in the Mot and Golden Bay area (how many?)

All this thanks to a growing number of men who see the value in perpetuating and spreading the work and making men’s groups available to everyone who wants it.

In this issue:

  • International  Men's Open Day 22 November - including program
  • New Group to be Formed
  • Teepee Erection
  • National Men's Groups Conference
  • Rotoiti Recap
  • Waitangi Retreat

These are just the highlights. To view the full email newsletter, click here.

How do I join a men's group?

If you are interested in joining a group (or checking one out causally) get in touch with the group directly — using the contact info at the bottom of each listing.

If the group has space, you will be invited to attend a meeting to check it out. The group will welcome you, and will explain and demonstrate how things work.

If more than one group exists in your area, feel free to try two or more to find the best long-term fit for you.
