Cha in the city: South Asian Men’s Group

A space to talk, connect, and just be—because South Asian men deserve a space for real conversations, too.

Cha in the City is a community-led group for South Asian men, created in collaboration with Shakti Mental Health and Taraki (UK). We know that navigating masculinity, mental health, cultural expectations, and identity can be complex, and too often, South Asian men don’t have a space to openly talk about their experiences. That’s why we’re here—to change that, one cup of cha at a time.

Through our monthly meet-ups, we create a space for open and judgment-free conversations on everything from mental well-being and relationships to career pressures and cultural identity. Whether you’re looking to connect with others, share your story, or simply listen and learn, this is a space where you can show up as yourself.

We’re breaking the silence, challenging stigma, and building a community where South Asian men can support one another—because strength isn’t just about resilience, it’s about connection.

Join us at our next session, grab a cup of cha, and be part of the conversation.
