An Evening With....Jarrod McKenna - September 2026
Description
An Evening With is a monthly online gathering where we meet to connect and talk about navigating the beauty and the pain of life together. We have conversations about all kinds of topics and issues to help men and their families – from mental health, sexuality, personal, emotional and spiritual growth, relationships, family, fatherhood, and how to cope through life’s problems and pain.
This month we will be joined by Jarrod McKenna.
Topic: Most men live on surface of their lives—busy, distracted, disconnected, rarely stopping long enough to listen to what’s really going on underneath. This workshop offers a different way. Drawing from the contemplative paths found across many wisdom traditions, this session creates space to slow down, become present, and reconnect with something deeper—within ourselves and between all things. There’s no pressure to believe anything in particular. People of no faith and various faiths are more than welcome to come explore in an inquisitive and non-coercive space. For men wanting to be more present to life, to loved ones, and your purpose, this is an invitation to listen… and come home.
Hosted quarterly, eventts will occur in March, June, September and November. Speakers and topics will be announced closer to the events.

Jarrod McKenna
Jarrod McKenna is an award-winning peace activist, and community organiser whose life and work reflect a deep commitment to nonviolence, justice, and compassion. Drawing inspiration from contemplative traditions, the Peace Church movements, the Catholic Worker ethos, and the prophetic Black Church tradition, Jarrod has worked alongside marginalized communities, including those who are unhoused, imprisoned, detained, or seeking refuge. His advocacy for human rights and climate justice has been featured by international outlets such as the BBC, Al-Jazeera, and The Guardian, and his grassroots efforts have inspired transformative movements like “Love Makes A Way,” Australia’s largest faith-based nonviolent civil disobedience initiative. As a pastor in Melbourne and Perth, and co-host of the InVerse Podcast with Dr. Drew Hart, Jarrod continues to challenge and inspire others to reimagine contemplation and action in the pursuit of justice. Jarrod lives on Wadjuk Noongar land in Perth, Australia, with his wife Kat and their five sons, who are his greatest teachers. Richard Rohr has said of Jarrod McKenna, “It’s amazing that we should need to tell people that Jesus taught and surely lived a nonviolent life. And almost as amazing—and wonderful—that Jarrod McKenna should be able to teach it so well in our time and culture.”
