FORGING POSITIVE & HEALTHY MASCULINITY IN MODERN TIMES
FORGING POSITIVE & HEALTHY MASCULINITY IN MODERN TIMES
WHO IS BROTHER NATURE
Brother Nature is a Melbourne based enterprise committed to the health & wellbeing of men & boys. Almost all research tells us that too many Australian men & boys are struggling. Depression & other mental health concerns are on the increase, while education & overall wellbeing is on the decrease. Brother Nature is first & foremost, a movement towards promoting & building workable ideas about manhood that men & boys can lean on in times of difficulty, as well as utilize to establish healthy, safe & pro-social identities
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that masculinity is a healthy & important part of men's lives. As with everything though, it can be embodied in a positive & healthy way, or it can be used unskillfully, leading to unhealthy behviours & attitudes. Brother Nature was created to help boys find their way, as well as men in rediscovering character traits & attributes they wish to embody in their lives.

I specialize in working with teenage boys, helping them navigate their way to a positive & healthy embodiment of masculinity. Age 14 to 17 is a critical time for boys to learn what healthy attitudes & behaviours look like. I've tailored a unique 6 week program, tried and tested in Victorian secondary schools.
