About the event
Overview
Out of our current culture's failure to address "the boy crisis" and to create healthy, potent and conscious male intergenerational spaces,
The ROUNDTABLE is being offered to invite our community's (young) men into empowering connection where they can GROW UP, SHOW UP, CLEAN UP, WAKE UP and OPEN UP, together.
The reality that a growing number of young men are "failing to launch", or spiraling downwards into depression, addiction, nihilism and even suicide... this requires MEN to come together to LEAN IN, MODEL and CHALLENGE young men to become better versions of themselves.
Each ROUNTABLE session will be dedicated to a different realm of (young) men's lives and will give young men the oppurtunity to listen to men speak honestly, from the heart tabout what they have lived and how they've grown.
Realms:
The Physical
The Emotional
The Relational
The Spiritual
One realm will be explored each session through:
- A theme/story presented by an inspirational man from our local community
- An activity/challenge meant to bring that theme/story to life, experientially
- A sharing circle, in which insights and resonances can be explored/shared
