Connection happens when people share an experience.

WITH-ME started in Canberra with a simple idea. Loneliness decreases when people show up together. We bring Canberrans together through walking, yoga, cooking and more, building genuine community and improving mental wellbeing one event at a time.

Whatever your starting point, there is always something to show up for. Real people, real activities, real connection.
