These Seminars are providing a space for men, to meet in a open and conscious environment, to look together into the topic of what it means to be a man.
The intention is not to give out a formula of how to be a man, but rather inquiring together into the greater energy of masculinity, which in it´s essence is just pure Creative Power. As men we are all individual representations of this divine energy, and in this meetings, we can support each other to re-connect to this source.
Whoever had the pleasure to be in such a meeting, knows how nourishing, freeing and simply joyful it can be, to meet with Men on such a level. When men meet, we normally are so occupied to compare, judge, evaluate, or simply keep up our protection mechanisms, that it becomes almost impossible to meet the others in an open and equal way.
Here such an open space is provided, so we have the opportunity to look into something much more profound. Inquiring into the question of what it is to be a Man?
In these seminars we are following this inquiry mainly, through becoming more conscious of how each of us is relating to this greater energy of masculinity. We all carry our individually formed images and ideas of how to be a man. Many of these images we inherited from the collective ideas of our culture, others we collected on our personal path of becoming a man. Most of these images and ideas we are living unconsciously, if we are trying to live up to them or defying them, doesn’t matter that much.
What matters, is to become aware of these layers in my masculinity.
Masculinity as the greater force is just pure creative Power. What we made out of it, and what could still become of it, is up to us.
“We are living at an important and fruitful moment now, for it is clear to men that the images of adult manhood given by popular culture are worn out; a man can no longer depend on them. By the time a man is 35, he knows that the images of the right man, the tough man, the true man, which he received in high school, do not work in life. Such a man is open to new visions of what a man is or could be.” Robert Bly, author of ”Iron John”
