Fifteen years ago, Michael Brennan found himself in a place of deep exhaustion and despair, unable to see a way forward and seeing suicide as the answer. What helped him turn toward life again were men, men willing to sit together in circle, with honesty, vulnerability, silence, and compassion. Men willing to do their “work” and support Michaelin doing his. That experience became the seed of Good Better Best Men (GBBM), a South Australian not-for-profit dedicated to men’s healing, growth, and leadership through community.
Since its founding in 2023, GBBM has engaged more than 300 men through circles, workshops, and leadership intensives that invite men to take responsibility for their own healing and, in doing so, to lead transformation in their communities.
In this presentation, Michael explores how Men’s Journey to the Heart - through courage, connection, vulnerability, commitment and accountability is reshaping the culture of men’s wellbeing for generations to come.
