Throughout our lives we have been bombarded with messages about what masculinity and male sexuality is and should be. These messages make it very difficult to know our true selves, our true nature, and our true power. These messages also reinforce the myth of separation, and prevent authentic connecting with others. We turn to addictive patterns (work, unhealthy relationships, substances, and money) for relief, but our spirits are dimmed.
How do we break free from this cycle? What does healthy masculinity look like?
Using embodied approaches of new masculine empowerment, Our Beloved Men community supports us in developing a practice of fierce allyship with one another, women, and other marginalized groups. This work simultaneously enlivens and enriches our own lives, moving us into greater freedom, choice and personal power.
In order to connect and deepen our exploration of masculine conditioning and its impact, we begin our evening with exercises of sacred intimacy and group discussion. We will then proceed to our lovely earthen sauna for continued connection, song and prayer, as well as time to be together casually around the fire.
