About the event

As always, Books & Brews is low-key: a group of guys who show up for community, talk if you want, listen if you don’t. No pressure to finish the whole book — just enough to have a good conversation.
About the book of the month: She Is Not Your Rehab by Matt Brown
In a humble barbershop in New Zealand, something extraordinary began.
Matt Brown offered men more than just a haircut, with him they found a safe place to be seen and heard. No judgement or shame. Just connection, courage, and the chance to break free from cycles of trauma and abuse.
From those quiet, honest conversations, She Is Not Your Rehab was born; a global movement redefining masculinity and inviting men to face and heal their own trauma instead of passing it on.
