essential to growth. This session will explain how to make that happen.

Exploring the Diversity of Masculinities

masculinities as related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Resources and supportive organizations also will be shared.

Male Spirit: A Path for Heroes and Scoundrels
Joe Kilikevice. A circle of men caring for men can forgive, restore, and encourage the heroes and scoundrels among us. For more than 20 years, Male Spirit retreats have welcomed all types of men into its circle of respect and healing. This sacred work begins within the ritual space we create to acknowledge and honor our male spirits.

The Effect of Healed Spirits in the Workplace
Steve Wallman and Tom Horne. This workshop will demonstrate the effect of Healed Spirits on workplace communication and relationships, management effectiveness, employee vitality, commitment, and bottom-line success.

Power of the Enneagram

understand our interpersonal relationships. In this workshop we will expose our compulsive behaviors and learn how to break free of them.

The Measure of a Man
Timothy Clark. Men face a variety of developmental challenges across the lifespan. We’ll pay specific attention to the reasons some of us become trapped in certain stages of relational, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual development.

Diversity in America
Eric Rogers. Topics in this seminar include diversity in education, community, and the workplace.

Healing the Father Wound
Greg Baldauf. The heart of men’s work is healing the relationship with one’s father. Whether he was absent, distant, or uninvolved, resolving these issues is vital to healing old wounds, growing as a human being, and becoming a father yourself.
