As we come to the end of another year, I wanted to do something a bit different for our last gathering. Not just another check-in or debrief but a real moment to pause together. To breathe. To feel. To honor what we've quietly built here.

This time of year is strange, isn't it? Beautiful in some ways, but heavy in others. Some of us are carrying loneliness, grief, or the exhausting weight of keeping it all together. I get it. I've been there too. That's exactly why I want this night to be different, a space where you don't have to pretend you're fine. Where you can just show up.

We'll meet at the usual spot from 7 to 9pm. Bring something simple to share for dinner if you can. We'll eat together, swap a few stories, and just... be. There's no formal agenda. Just space to reflect on what this year has been—what you've survived, what you've learned, what you're still carrying.

For those who can't make it in person, we'll have an online circle running so our interstate and overseas brothers can be part of it too (date will be announced soon).

If you've been to our gatherings before, it'd be great to see your face again. And if you've never come but something in you is pulling you toward this, consider this your invitation. You don't need to have it all figured out. No performance, no armor. Just men being real with each other, closing out the year the way it should be closed—together.
