My Name is Phil McKewin and for the first 38 years of my life, I had mostly woman as friends that I could be real with. In 2000 I decided I wanted to begin to explore my own relationship with my masculine, within myself and to do that I decided to start attending men only based workshops. Initially, I joined the Leadership Camp with the Pathways Organisation in Sydney. The explored the work of David Deida and really took responsibility for my own relationships with Men.

I realized through this work that I never really felt comfortable with Men to truly open up with. The old way I related with men was either to be needy or be needed as I never really knew how to just connect authentically with another Man. Growing up in a family of mostly Men, but they too didn't feel comfortable to talk about emotions or anything deeper than what was on the service. For me, this journey of bringing Men together every fortnight in Newcastle has been extremely rewarding. I LOVE being around other men that are willing to have the courage and take responsibility for their individual journeys. In many ways we all journey together.

This Men's group is an Open group and any man from 18 to 100 are welcome to join us here in Newcastle.
