BaliSpirit Festival 2018

In the age of #metoo and the legacy of toxic masculinity, what does it mean to be a man today? Many men have rejected the told story of masculinity as dominant and aggressive and have stepped into the role of the “good” man instead, trading passion for domestication. And yet, something was lost in the fragmentation of the masculine soul.

Beginning in the late 80’s, the resurgence of the mythic men’s movement offered another way forward - reclaiming our wild man and mapping our internal terrain through the archetypes: Magician, Warrior, Lover, King. The neo-tantric traditions articulated the fundamental erotic polarities of the universe, yet potentially replaced an old essentialist orthodoxy for another. Now, the time has come to weave a new era for the integrated man, the unification of the masculine and feminine within all of us.

Through the combination of movement, storytelling, discussion, and integrative practices, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to attain a new level of self-mastery, the courage to step into collective solidarity, and the pathways toward a healed culture of masculinity in service toward Life. Male, female and nonbinary people gratefully welcomed.
