International Men's Day - VPCC x Mentall - ManSTORIES Series 1: From Pain to Purpose

ManSTORIES: From Pain to Purpose BOOK HERE!!!!!

Description

Every man has a story.

Sat, 21 Nov, 1pm - 3:30pm

Some stories are shaped by adversity.

Some by loss.

Some by unexpected turning points.

But within every story is the possibility of growth.

ManSTORIES: From Pain to Purpose is an afternoon of authentic storytelling where three men share the life experiences that shaped them—and how they found purpose through life's toughest moments.

These aren't keynote speeches.

They're real stories from real men.

Honest.

Raw.

Hopeful.

Each speaker will share their personal journey before coming together for a facilitated conversation and audience Q&A, creating space to explore the lessons, challenges and moments that changed their lives.

Whether you're navigating your own challenges, supporting someone you care about, or simply believe in the power of hearing another person's story, this afternoon offers an opportunity to slow down, listen and reflect.

What to expect

• Three powerful personal stories.

• A facilitated conversation with all three speakers.

• Audience Q&A.

• Afternoon tea and an opportunity to connect with others.

• A welcoming and respectful environment where everyone is welcome.

Who is this for?

This event is for anyone who values authentic conversations about resilience, growth and the human experience.

You don't need to have all the answers.

You don't need to be going through a difficult time.

Just come with an open mind and a willingness to listen.

You never know which story might stay with you long after you leave.

Three men. Three stories. One unforgettable conversation.
