Sacred Stream

In traditional cultures, moments of transition in an individual’s cycle of life are viewed as important moments of initiation and growth. These moments are marked by initiations that provided important support and guidance to the individual in finding his place within himself and his community. Today, these initiatory moments are largely unrecognized and masculine power is channeled into artificial forms of power creating a disconnect that can cause confusion for men as they step into their roles as sons, brothers, fathers, and partners.

This class helps men reconnect with masculine energy in its most sacred and pure form. Students will explore how different life initiations have affected their lives and how their understanding of manhood has shaped them. By stepping out of the culturally prescribed perspectives of what it is to be a man, students have the opportunity to bring a greater understanding to their relationships and power back into their lives.
