direction and self-worth provided by communal initiation.

EarthSpirit Centre, Nr Glastonbury, Somerset.

February 26th 2023 – March 2nd: Sunday – Thursday

Since the dawn of time men have gathered in special places to explore the mysteries and challenges of male existence. From the initiations of youth, through to the fears and wonders of elderhood, men have drawn strength from each other and made sense of their lives in times of tumultuous change and crisis.

Today, the four pale horsemen of war, famine, pestilence and death, have broken into our comfortable lives once again. As climactic change and shortage become normalised, how do we live through crisis after crisis without falling into fear and anxiety on the one hand, or agitated reaction and rage on the other? Do we face the horsemen, go into denial or settle for the dull throb of numbness? And how do we maintain contact with the heart, with soul, with love and compassion?

Gathering in the mythic landscape of King Arthur’s Avalon, this four-day retreat, led by William Ayot and Simon Roe, will use story, poetry, ritual, and emergent process to explore these pressing concerns, to reconnect on many levels, and to take strength in the company of men.

Places are limited.
