Inviting Men to Explore Myth and Eros in the Satyr's Den

Greetings all - I’m excited to extend a special invitation for men who wish to dive into the cauldron of mythopoetic masculinity and eros.

But before I get to that, I want to acknowledge a milestone: it’s been over five years since I began The Mythic Masculine podcast.

Time, as always, passes like a blink.

This journey began after my previous film project, Amplify Her, which explored feminine archetypes through the lives of DJs and producers. That collaboration had me seek out writers like Marion Woodman (Dancing in the Flames) and Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women Who Run With Wolves) and opened my path into mythopoetics.

In the wake of Amplify Her, I realized I knew little about the masculine archetypal realm. When audiences asked if I’d do a similar project for men, the idea for a podcast took root.

I was inspired by Iron John by Robert Bly—a book I found in my grandfather’s study after his passing. That encounter was a doorway to the lineage of the mythopoetic men’s movement, a movement that once sparked men’s circles across the country.

As I interviewed guests like storyteller Martin Shaw, Bill Kauth (Co-founder ManKind Project), and storyteller Michael Meade, the podcast became a space to weave voices from past and present, exploring shifting understandings of gender, myth, and archetypes.

If you're curious about the history and insights from these five years, you can access my webinar An Introduction to Mythopoetic Masculinity here.

In the last year and a half, The Mythic Masculine evolved.

A pivotal moment came in the summer of 2023, when my longtime friend Deus Fortier and I hosted MXM—an event exploring masculinity, eros, and myth. We combined Deus’ somatic and breathwork practices with my mythopoetic flavourings. The experience affirmed that men need spaces to explore these “forbidden” topics, reclaim vulnerability, and awaken their noble, erotic essence.

This offering evolved into Awakening the Wild Erotic, which we've now held multiple times over the last year. For those unable to attend in person, we created The Deep Masculine, an online cohort blending ritual, somatics, and myth.

Now, Deus and I rre thrilled to announce the next stage: an ongoing online men’s circle, The Satyr’s Den.

Satyrs—wild, primal beings of Greek myth—embody the uninhibited joy of nature and erotic vitality. The Satyr’s Den is a space for men to reclaim this energy in a way that honors life. Too often, men either misuse this power or suppress it altogether. This circle offers a path to mature, embodied Eros and relational mastery.

The Satyr’s Den includes:

* Monthly Live Group Calls

* Exclusive Podcast Conversations

* Transformative practices and rituals

* Webinars and community support

This is for men with prior experience in men’s work, shadow work, or similar transformational spaces. If you're new to this terrain, consider attending Awakening the Wild Erotic or Deep Masculine first.

Special Offer: Join by the end of December to lock in a founding member rate of $49/month

You’ll also gain immediate access to an my conversation with Deus about his journey through the ISTA (International School of Temple Arts) series.

If you feel called, apply here and see if the Satyr’s Den is right for you.

Thank you for walking this mythic path with me.

More offerings are on the horizon—webinars, guest teachers, and courses in 2025. The journey continues, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

In gratitude,IM
