01The invitation

Some patterns deserve
a closer look.

Relationships can hold some of life’s most meaningful moments. They can also reveal the responses we return to when we feel unseen, under pressure or unsure how to speak.

This day offers men an opportunity to explore those patterns with curiosity, practical language and the support of a respectful group environment.

02The work

A day to name what is familiar and consider what might be different.

Rory will introduce the Four Relationship Archetypes as a lens for reflecting on recurring dynamics. The aim is not to label yourself or anyone else. It is to make more room for awareness, responsibility and choice.

  • The patterns that can repeat in close relationships
  • Communication when pressure, uncertainty or conflict arise
  • The Four Relationship Archetypes as a framework for reflection
  • How family history and learned responses can shape the present
  • Practical reflection on connection, responsibility and choice

Rory Kilmartin

Rory is a researcher, author and facilitator whose work explores relationship patterns, communication and the dynamics that can emerge under stress. For more than three decades, he has studied how people make sense of themselves and each other within close relationships.

In this live workshop, Rory will share the foundations of his framework and invite men to consider the questions it raises for their relationships, family life, work and sense of self.

A respectful space

A day with room to arrive, reflect and take what is useful.

The Men Spirit team will be present throughout the day to welcome you, support the flow of the workshop and help create a respectful environment.

This is a day for learning and reflection, not performance. You are invited to take part at your own pace, step back when you need to, and approach the day with curiosity rather than pressure.
