What is it?
Monumental consists of fun social gatherings in a neutral setting along with a series of group discussions that focus on self-reflection, personal development and goal setting.
Can anyone come?
Yes, if you are a man, you qualify! We are just looking for any man who wants to improve themselves as an individual.
What do you do?
The aim is to build a strong community of men who are willing to support each other on their own journey. We do this by hosting some social meet ups and facilitating group discussion.
Do I have to take part?
How much you engage is entirely up to you and there is no pressure to participate during the group discussions. Although if you are going to join us, we feel to really get the benefits of Monumental, the more you try to engage the more you will get from it, guaranteed!
Is it free?
Yes! Currently, there is no charge for the programme and there is no need to spend a penny. During some socials there is opportunity to purchase refreshments from the venues, but this is at your own discretion.
Where is it?
All sessions are held at Edge Hill University. Locations can vary depending on availability. These will be communicated with participants during sign up.
Who runs it?
Each session is run by two experienced facilitators who are passionate about supporting men as they journey through life. Although we facilitate the sessions, we hope the group leads the discussions around the topics.
Do I need to bring anything?
You will not be required to bring anything. Everything you need will be provided at the time.
What sort of social events do you do?
Social events are designed to be as inclusive as possible. If you do have any special requirements or needs, please make us aware of this when you sign up.
How long are the sessions?
The group discussions are designed to take around 90 minutes. Social events are up to 2 hours long. You can drop in or out of these whenever you like, no pressure.
What are the group discussions?
During these sessions we discuss topics like, health, wellbeing, resilience, habits, stress and coping mechanisms etc… These sessions are aimed at encouraging self-reflection and setting personal goals, of which we will aim to support you with. These sessions are not lectures, the group ideas, support and input is the engine of the process.
