We are in the midst of a global shift that is challenging how we all define masculinity. Men are in crisis as they navigate a time of rapidly changing gender roles and expectations.

Sadly, the forces that influence men to distance from their emotions also discourage help-seeking and risk taking. Redefining masculinity requires understanding the archetypal wounds unique to men, and a deep respect for the vulnerability they face as they awaken from a legacy of their own traumatic conditioning. This event is for men and women curious about the movement towards a healthier, mature masculine in the spirit of creating emotional freedom and relational safety for future generations.
