Why We Founded Gather
We’re Joe and Trav — brothers who recently spent a weekend hiking with a few mates.
We walked, we ate well, we talked, we slowed down. No pressure. No performance. Just space to be present.
Afterwards, we kept thinking: why isn’t there more of this for men?
Not therapy. Not a stag weekend. Something grounded, outdoors, and real.
So we created Gather — the kind of weekend we wish existed.
Rooted in nature. Built around calm strength, honest conversation, and simple pleasures.
A small step away from the noise — with the potential to help you reset, reconnect, and return stronger.
Who It’s For
Gather is for men who need space to breathe.
If you’re always “on”, juggling work, family, responsibility, and running on fumes, this is time carved out for you.
Whether you're a father holding it all together, a creative chasing deadlines, someone feeling disconnected from yourself, or you just love a bit of adventure and want a meaningful weekend with some structure — you're not alone.
It’s not for everyone. And that's okay.
But if you’ve been craving something more grounded, honest connection, time in nature, movement, good food, and space to talk (or not talk) — you’ll feel right at home.
No big leap. Just one weekend to step away, reconnect, and see where it takes you.
What to Expect
Hike In. Switch Off.
We leave our phones at the base and take only what we need. Step by step, we hike — not for pace, but for presence. Out here, the signal fades and clarity returns. Disconnect to connect.
Connection. Laughter.
Real conversations, under open skies and by open flame. Stories shared, silences held, and a reminder that connection doesn’t need Wi-Fi - just walking, warmth, time, and a little fire.
Cold Plunge. Clear Mind.
Optional. Unforgettable. Cold water dips await those who want to feel the edge and come back sharper. It’s a moment of stillness, challenge, and clarity. Step in, breathe deep, and reset from the inside out.
Eat Well. Rest Well.
Our spaces are beautiful, simple and thoughtfully designed. The kind of place you can truly switch off. Expect nourishing, delicious food, great coffee, and good company.
Gather Gives Back
Gather is rooted in respect. For ourselves, each other, and the world we move through.
That’s why each weekend is designed to tread lightly: hosted at small, independent venues, fuelled by nourishing plant-based food, and kept intentionally low-waste.
We keep groups small, our practices simple, and our footprint minimal. And with each Gather, we donate a portion of proceeds to nature-focused charities — supporting wild spaces, biodiversity, and the future they hold.
It’s not just time away. It’s time spent with care.
We’re starting small. With intention.
We're launching gently — with a few, carefully considered Gathers and limited spaces at each. It’s not about scale. It’s about depth.
We keep the groups small to build trust, create space for meaningful connection, and allow time to slow down — without distraction or pressure.
Whether you join solo or with a few mates, you'll be part of a welcoming, grounded environment. And if it resonates, you’ll have the chance to share it with someone who’d value it too.
Join the first Gathers.
We imagine Gather evolving into experiences shaped by shared values, life chapters, and connection — from curated weekends for founders, fathers or creatives, to old friends.
Join the Gather community and we’ll let you know first when spaces open up.
