The Yarns Men #19 | Tristan Phipps

It's Good to Yarn. The Yarns Men is an opportunity for men to come together to hear a guest speaker and have a yarn with some food.

This is an opportunity for men from all walks of life to hear an inspirational guest speaker and have a yarn over some food.

Our September speaker is Tristan Phipps. Tristan grew up in a super strict religious group known as the church with no name or more recently the 2x2's. He was told anyone outside the group was going to hell. Leaving meant changing his direction in life, effectively starting again and altering relationships with family & friends.

Tristan shares what it was like growing up inside that bubble and what it took to break free. These days, he’s helping others do the same, speaking up and shining a light on stuff that’s been kept quiet for way too long.
