About Men's Muster
Laugh your way to a newer you at the Men’s Muster Fiordland. The annual event burst into life in June 2021 in the picturesque lakeside location of Te Anau, with the majestic and jaw-dropping World Heritage Area of Fiordland as your backdrop. It’s not a retreat, it’s fun. Three days of great times and good, basic, lifestyle tweaks.
In case you haven’t worked it out yet - you’re not invincible, you don’t have all the answers and, really, your health is as much owned by those who love you, as by yourself. Get back in touch or find your sense of identity. Unleash your inner problem-solver as you set about some light-hearted hunter-gathering tasks - it’s friendly competition, with egos left at the door. You’ll feel an unbelievable energy as you experience an incredible array of speakers.
From sport, to psychology, business, health, leadership, lifestyle, inspirers, and everyday people who like to do things a little bit differently. It could be a stay at home dad or an achiever in one field who has experienced an enormous learning curve doing something new. Make it your mates getaway for the year. Or do something different with mates closer to home. You could even be an employer looking to give your crew some inspiration, as part of building a great team. You talk more when you’re busy - so there’s heaps to keep you occupied, sharing a sense of achievement, and letting the conversations flow. Work out if you are a pleasure-seeker or an achievement-chaser. Or somewhere inbetween.
There’s awesome outdoor challenges for anyone and everyone who’s keen to dip their toes in new water - with rewarding experiences such as yoga, rock-climbing, food-tasting, jet-boating, scavenger hunts and rogaine. Each year new and exciting opportunities are laid on. Oh, did we mention there’s great entertainment too? It’s a chance to take time out to think about yourself, free from those seemingly all-consuming life commitments. Sit back and relax with a cold drink as you reflect on how your thoughts affect your physiology. Good food, good mood, and all that stuff.
If you need the buzzwords - we’ve got them all: education, engagement, connection, challenge, and fun, always fun. It’s about building on your strengths, for you, your family and your community. If you like, you can also take the time , to explore the stunning
rugged and remote Fiordland region, which offers awe-inspiring landscapes and a wide range of recreational activities.
The feedback speaks for itself - “Amazing - best three days of 2021”; “Next level event!”; “Interesting, varied, engaging, bonding, confronting, brilliant and worthwhile. Thank you so many times over.”

This year's Theme : Charge Up Your Engine
It is fair to say, no-one questions regularly maintaining your car, getting that wee "tune-up", which can be a lot easier in the long run than waiting for the car to go bang(emoji). So why don't we do this with our bodies? The same principles apply. The fuel we put in, the maintenance (sleep, rest, movement), acknowledging the lights on our dashboard (and not ignoring them!) - all help, especially if this maintenance is done regularly. And how often do we stop and check that we are driving the right car, the right way, with a ride that makes us feel good.... the muster this year is designed to help you charge up your engine, help your body and mind run more smoothly and give you tools to help you head in your own right direction. Delivered with the usual fun style of education, camaraderie, challenge and achievement; we encourage you again to Learn, Grow and Apply new things from Men's Muster Fiordland to help you and your mates Build Better Blokes for the road ahead.
