Men's Group
REAWAKENING THE WARRIOR
Nourished by the dark winter and cradled by the foot hill of Mount Tamalpais, we sit around a fire as our ancestors did and speak to our pain and discover our truth.
Developing our vulnerability and power for self examination, we descend into the watery depths of soul to clean out the battle wounds and reveal what gifts are hidden.
We will excavate how passivity, naivety and numbness has formed the “soft or sensitive new age guy” along with his misery and explore how the vitality and ferocity of the warrior can be invoked.
In 1990 Robert Bly wrote a groundbreaking book called “Iron John” commenting in detail how this Brother’s Grimm myth can be viewed as a male initiation rite of passage. It sparked the “Men’s Movement” and chapters will be read before each meeting in order to ignite the conversation.
