A Hunger for Healing Men’s Issues and the Return of Emergent Men’s Work: A 2 hour talk for Men and Women with Simon Roe and William Ayot
When and Where: Wednesday 6th Sep 2023 13.00-15.00 BST Online
About this event
There’s a resurgent curiosity around men’s issues and a corresponding hunger for emergent men’s work. But what is it that men do together? What are the fears and what are the benefits? Join experienced rites of passage leaders William & Simon as they dispel some of the myths and lay out some of the methodologies of their powerful tradition.
Men’s work has been around for centuries. Originally seen in ancient rituals and mystery schools, it was carried forward through tribal rites of passage, and revived in the latter part of the 20th Century – both as a supportive response to feminism, and a way to initiate men into fuller, healthier forms of manhood. This talk finishes with an open Q & A session.
Women and those who support men in their healing journeys are especially welcome.
