Thank You – Session 7 | The Men’s Circle
A heartfelt thank you to all the men who joined us for Session 7: Fathers, Sons & Inheritance.
It was a morning of thoughtful conversation, reflection, and honest sharing as we explored the lasting influence our fathers have on our lives—and the legacy we are choosing to leave for those who follow us.
These conversations remind us that while we cannot change what we inherited, we can become more aware of it, appreciate the strengths it has given us, and consciously choose what we carry forward.
A sincere thank you to The Lemon Tree Restaurant for once again providing such a warm and welcoming venue. Your hospitality continues to create the ideal environment for meaningful conversation and connection.
The Men’s Circle continues to grow, one conversation at a time.
We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces to Session 8.

THE MEN’S CIRCLE — SESSION 7
Fathers, Sons & Inheritance
Every man inherits something from the men who came before him.
Sometimes it’s wisdom, encouragement and strength.
Sometimes it’s silence, absence, anger, unrealistic expectations, or wounds that were never spoken about.
Whether our fathers were present or absent, nurturing or distant, their influence often continues to shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we understand what it means to be a man.
This session isn’t about blaming our fathers.
It’s about understanding what we’ve inherited, recognising what has served us, acknowledging what hasn’t, and deciding what we choose to carry forward.
We’ll explore:
• The lessons we learned about being a man
• The impact of fathers—present or absent
• What we’ve inherited emotionally and behaviourally
• The legacy we hope to leave to the next generation
A calm, facilitated space for honest conversation—or simply listening.

THE MEN’S CIRCLE — SESSION 7
Fathers, Sons & Inheritance
Every man carries a story.
Much of that story begins with the men who came before us.
Whether our fathers were present or absent, affectionate or reserved, encouraging or struggling with their own burdens, they have all shaped us in some way. We inherit far more than our genes—we inherit beliefs, values, ways of communicating, ways of loving, and sometimes even the wounds that were never spoken about.
Session 7 is an opportunity to reflect on those influences with curiosity rather than blame.
Together we’ll explore:
• What we learnt about being a man growing up.
• The impact our fathers had on our lives—both positive and challenging.
• What we’ve inherited emotionally and behaviourally.
• What patterns we’d like to continue—and what we’d like to leave behind.
• The legacy we hope to pass on to our own children, families and communities.
Whether you’re a father, a son, both, or neither, this conversation is about understanding where we’ve come from so that we can choose where we’re going.
As always, The Men’s Circle is a calm, respectful space where men can speak openly—or simply listen.

Men’s Circle — Session 6 (This Sunday)
Emotional Illiteracy (Not a Personal Failing)
Many men weren’t taught how to recognise, understand or express what they’re feeling. It’s not because they don’t have emotions—it may simply be because no one ever taught them the language.
Join us for a relaxed conversation as we explore emotional awareness, connection and understanding in a safe, respectful environment.
📍 The Lemon Tree
