Token Man Brave Space - Sitting with Anger (MEN ONLY)

Token Man Brave Spaces (for Men)

Join us for our latest Token Man Brave Space, taking place on Tue 9 Sep at 1600 BST.

Get ready to dive into a world of meaningful conversations and thought-provoking discussions. This online event aims to create a safe and inclusive space where those who identify as men can openly share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. It's an opportunity to break down stereotypes, challenge societal norms, and foster empathy.

THIS MONTH'S THEME: Sitting with Anger

Anger is a natural emotion — but one that many men are taught to fear, suppress, or let explode.

For some, it simmers just beneath the surface. For others, it erupts when least expected. And for many, it hides deeper feelings: grief, shame, fear, or powerlessness. We often weren’t taught how to sit with anger, only how to weaponise it… or run from it.

This Brave Space invites men to explore their relationship with anger — not to fix it or fight it, but to understand it. We’ll create a space to reflect on where anger shows up in our lives, what it might be protecting, and how we can respond to it with greater awareness and intention.

Because sitting with anger isn’t weakness — it’s strength. It’s self-leadership. And it’s a crucial step in building healthier relationships with ourselves and with others.

Join us for a conversation that many of us have never been invited into — but which all of us need.

FORMAT

The format for each session will be as follows:

• Introduction through sharing a feeling using the Feelings wheel
• Discussion in pairs to discuss those feelings to engage empathy and create connection
• Full group discussion around a particular topic which will change every session
• Anything else anyone would like to bring up

RULES OF THE ROOM

The rules of the room will be as follows:

• Chatham House rules - you can share stories but they can’t be attributed to a single person (simply because stories is how we shape change)
• Cameras on
• Share the air
• Respect each other
• Be kind
• Be Present
