Wild Man Choir

Wild Man Choir — Melbourne

You don't need to be able to sing. If you can breathe, yell and clap — you're in.

A half-day workshop for men. Breath, voice, circle, song.

We live in a time where men are increasingly disconnected — from each other, from their bodies, from what they actually care about. Male suicide stats remain bleaker than ever. The loneliness epidemic is real, and the cost shows up everywhere — in our families, our friendships, our communities.

This workshop is one small, practical answer to a big problem. A room full of men, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, breathing and singing together. A chance to change the narrative around what it means to be a man — and to practise the qualities the world needs more of from us: vulnerability, courage, kindness, compassion, thoughtfulness.

This is for brothers, sons, fathers, uncles. For men ready to show up — for themselves, their families, their communities, and the values they care about. And to take action to protect and nurture all of it.

We'll work with an original song of mine called The Garden of Love — about getting in touch with the things that are most important to you and already within you. A fitting home at The Carmelite Centre, a community that's been pointing at the heart as a spiritual capacity for 800 years.
