MASCULINE EMBODIMENT WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
FOUR MATURE MASCULINE ARCHETYPES - MOVING FROM BOY PSYCHOLOGY TO MAN PSYCHOLOGY (INTRODUCTION)
Psychologist Robert Moore took the concept of Jung’s archetypes and used it to create a framework that explained the development of mature and integral masculinity in men. Moore argued that the problems we see with men today - violence, aloofness, not being in touch with purpose - are a result of modern men not adequately exploring or being in touch with the primal, masculine archetypes that reside within each one of us.
According to Moore, masculine psychology is made up of four major archetypes: King, Warrior, Magician and Lover. In order for a man to achieve mature masculine strength and energy, he must be in touch with all four. We will be diving in to understand the mature aspects of each archetype and their immature, bi-polar shadows.
KING EMBODIMENT - "THE SEAT OF POWER” (INTRODUCTION/PRACTICE)
The two main functions of the King are:
- Live according to the Tao, the Dharma, the Word - and the lands will flourish
- Bring fertility and blessing. The King is the masculine equivalent of the Great Mother. The King's vitality and sexuality directly reflect on his kingdom, or inner landscape.
You will be practicing the cultivation and expression of the King energy in group practice with direct feedback from partners. Learn more about the King
WARRIOR EMBODIMENT - CONSCIOUS COMBAT™ (INTRODUCTION/INSTRUCTION/PRACTICE)
The warrior is decisive, and acts with authority in serving his king or higher self. We will develop the embodiment of decisiveness through self defense in this portion of the workshop. In working to embody this energy, you will be working with professional martial arts instructors and certified self defense technicians. You will learn helpful, proven combative self-defense techniques that will help you stay present in stressful or confrontational situations. You will also work with the men in workshop to receive direct feedback in how you are perceived in the embodiment of the Warrior. Where do you collapse and where do your weaknesses lie? There will be safe, moderate physical contact overseen by instructors. Learn more about the Warrior.
MAGICIAN EMBODIMENT – MAINTAINING AN IMPECCABLE INNER TEMPLE AND DEVELOPING A DAILY MEDITATION & MANIFESTATION PRACTICE (INTRODUCTION/INSTRUCTION)
In this workshop you will be introduced to three teachings/practices that will help cultivate the Magician's energy:
- Creating an inner, sacred temple
- Maintaining it's essence through a regular house cleaning of fears and resentments
- A daily transcendental meditation & manifestation practice
LOVER EMBODIMENT – TANTRA, DEPTH & PRESENCE (INTRODUCTION/PRACTICE)
The embodiment of the lover energy comes easy to some and not to others. We will explore the shadows poles of this energy and give each a voice though "Active Imagination Dialogue" in a group setting and will drop deep into relaxation exploration of poetry of the masters of Love - such as the works of Rumi, Hafez and Neruda.
You will also be introduced to Tantra followed by tantric practice. Learn more about the Lover.
