[PRESENTING: EMBRACING EXPRESSION: MASCULINE AND FEMININE ENERGY and CHANNELING YOUR INNER GODS]

+Embracing Expression: Masculine and Feminine Energy +

As men, we often carry fear and shame around our gender expression. This workshop will explore masculinity and what messages we have internalized about what we learned about masculinity and femininity and how these expressions are often either demonized or praised. Often times, it can be limiting to be ‘too feminine’ or ‘too masculine’ In this workshop, we will begin to explore the origin of these beliefs and how we can begin to honor and accept both expressions equally. This will also be an open and interactive workshop where will do exercises, activities, and discussions to explore ways we can begin to express ourselves with a balance of both of these vital components of self-expression

+ Channeling Your inner Gods+

This workshop will explore the sometimes untapped potential we have inside of ourselves. We will discuss gods and goddesses and will explore those traits and characteristics that capture the essence of who and who we want to be. This will be an interactive workshop where we will explore what is the embodiment of a god or goddess. What are your powers? What are the things from holding you back from being authentic?

This will be an interactive, hands-on workshop that explores the theme of the retreat and will allow you to explore how to begin to recognize and use your power. We will explore the role of the Greek Olympians in mythology and what earth elements they were connected too.
