MEN
AND SHAMANISM: DANCING ON THE EDGE OF THE SWORD
Gregory Baldauf, Don Flerlage, Paul Johnson, Bill Janssens, and George
Murphy. This program explores the world of Inka shamanism.
Power in the Inka Tradition is Tuki Muyna Neo, “the power
of unconditional love.” Our discussion focuses on the Andian Pachas
and the archetype of the Jaguaur, Otorongo. We also journey into
the metaphor of the Luminous Warrior—the warrior who has no enemy
in this world or any other.
GROWING
UP WITH ANGER
Jack Dohr. Many factors introduce the emotion of anger into our lives,
and each person has the ability to deal with it either constructively
or destructively. The presenter has seen many examples of this phenomenon
in six years of working with incarcerated youth (ages 14-18). This workshop
concentrates on constructive methods of dealing with anger.
FALLING
FREE: A JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION IN POETRY AND MUSIC
Paul Kachoris and Andy Mitran. This workshop allows each participant
to undertake his own “Hero’s Journey.” Swept away by the
soulful poetry of Paul Kachoris and original empathic music by Andy Mitran,
the voyager is transformed from armored beast to spiritual being.
MOVING
TOWARD SELF-CONFRONTATION, SELF-DIRECTION, AND SELF ACCEPTANCE
Phil Metres. Like most explorations, the process of moving toward
manhood involves planning, risk taking, mid-course corrections, and evolution
through a series of clarifying experiences, disappointments, setbacks,
and reevaluations. Then, we start all over again. This workshop helps
expand and support each of us on our journey toward wholeness.

AND PEACEFUL LIVING IN THE WISDOM YEARS

for men age 50 and better.
