The Desert Fathers, Men’s Spirituality & Shadow Work

Workshop ID: G16S921
Dates: September 15, 2016September 18, 2016
Price: $373.00$745.00

A long-weekend for men drawing on the stories and teachings of the early desert monks, exploring the relevance of their spirituality for men’s experience today. The Desert Fathers were very perceptive about the inner wounds we carry, how we project our wounds onto others and the healing that comes through a practice of radical forgiveness, honest sharing and contemplative prayer. These “athletes of God” offer intriguing models of authentic masculinity. The retreat will make use of Jung’s notion of the shadow and male archetypes, ritual exercises, storytelling, the Way of Council (small group work) and opportunity for experiences on the land, including an optional 24-hour solo experience on the land. Camping under a full moon on the Ghost Ranch landscape is a true desert experience.
