The Wandering Man

The Wandering Man Welcome, while Men’s Mental Health has been hidden from the public eye, it is of paramount importance to the well-being of our community.

The Wandering Man - Creating a supportive environment for men’s mental health involves a multi-faceted approach, both in personal spaces such as the home or workplace, and in wider community settings. In Geelong, Victoria, we’re striving to bring this issue to light and provide support where it’s needed most. Men’s mental health is an often-overlooked aspect of our societal well-being, yet it is equally as important as any other facet of healthcare. In Geelong, the challenges that men face can be as diverse as the population itself, ranging from stress and anxiety related to employment or financial pressures, to more severe mental health conditions such as depression and PTSD. While societal norms have traditionally dictated a stoic demeanour among men, it’s crucial to understand that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but rather an aspect of the human condition. In our community, we’re working to shift the paradigm, encouraging men to speak openly about their mental health and seek support without stigma or judgment.

🌊 THE LAST DIP OF JANUARY | SATURDAY SWIM
Let’s send off the month with a Splash! 👊
Whether you’ve joined us every week or you’ve been waiting for the "right time" to start—this is it. There’s no better way to reset the system and clear the head than a Saturday morning hit of Vitamin Sea with a solid group of blokes.
THE DETAILS: 📍 Where: The Tower, Eastern Beach ⏰ When: 7:00 AM, Saturday 31st Jan
THE CONDITIONS: 💧 Water: 17°C (The perfect wake-up call) 🌤 Air: 19°C (Fresh & crisp) 🌅 Sunrise: 6:31 AM 💨 Breeze: 21km/h Nth
NOT A SWIMMER? Don’t let the water stop you. Come down for the connection, stay for the laughs, and cheer the lads in from the Promenade. It’s about the brotherhood, not just the beach.
Shake off the week. Find your grit. We’re always stronger together.
See you at the Tower!

Huge thank you to everyone who made it down to Eastern Beach for our BBQ last night! 🌭🔥
Once again, everyone pulled together and it’s becoming so clear what an amazing community we are building here. We have new members joining us all the time, and it’s great to see the "Wandering Man" family growing.
A special shout-out to Aldo, Ray, and Chris, as well as Benny, George, Leeroy, and Mark C. for your efforts. We also had the pleasure of welcoming three first-timers—Tim and the two Steves—into the fold! Welcome to the group, fellas.
It was definitely a sombre night given the tragic events that occurred at the beach earlier in the day. Our thoughts and prayers are with the young lady involved and her loved ones. While it was a quiet evening given the circumstances, having the group together really worked—there is real strength in just showing up for one another. 🤝

The good news? We’re going to take full advantage of these longer Daylight Savings days! We’ve decided to make these Eastern Beach BBQs a monthly fixture on the calendar. 🗓️✨
Keep an eye on the page for the next date. Thanks again for the great company and the support.

Thank you for sharing your journey, Suzie. 🙏 Your honesty, courage, and willingness to lean into the discomfort will resonate with so many people who feel stuck or unsure where to begin.

What stands out most is the simple but powerful reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out to start — sometimes the first step really is just breathing. Learning to slow down, reconnect, and truly feel is something many people struggle with, and your story shows what’s possible when we give ourselves permission to try.

At The Wandering Man, we fully support the incredible work being done by Chill Breathe Revive. Creating safe, supportive spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and feel at home in their own skin is so important, and we’re grateful to stand alongside those doing this meaningful work.

Thank you for backing yourself and now holding space for others. One breath, one step, one moment at a time.

✨ Meet Suzie ✨

To be honest, I was a total skeptic about breathwork at first. But the moment I finally gave it a real chance, everything shifted for me.

It started a journey of self-discovery I didn’t even know I needed. For a long time, I struggled with feeling stuck and suppressing my emotions, and I realized I was missing a huge piece of the puzzle: self-love.

Through this practice, I finally learned how to actually feel and process my emotions instead of just pushing them down. It gave me the confidence to stop playing small and start stepping out of my comfort zone in ways I never thought possible.

I became a Breathwork Facilitator because I want to show others that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to breathe. My goal is to help everyday people—skeptics included—reconnect with themselves, build genuine confidence, and finally feel at home in their own skin.
