Exploring and exploding male myths
Saturday, 24 July, 7 August, 21 August 2021 (10am to 1pm)

In this three-part workshop we will examine the largely unspoken cultural myths of the heroic warrior and how it emphasises male power over intimacy. We will explore how this myth blinds us and binds us to patterns of behaviour that result in disconnection, loneliness, anxiety, anger and depression. We will also explore how substituting power for awareness leads to a different understanding of relationships and our place in the world.
