A renaissance is happening and it’s dissolving limited stereotypes defined by the “man box” and “toxic masculinity”. Jennifer talks with filmmaker, writer and visionary artist, Ian MacKenzie about his journey through art and village to discover what it means to cultivate a healthy and vibrant masculinity. 

Tune in to hear: 

• The influence of 80s pop culture on boyhood and fathering 
• Why the liberation of women is intertwined with the liberation of men
• The role of Eros and the Lover archetype in healing the gender wars
• Why reclaiming ritual and rites of passage for men can transform community

Come join us for a rich conversation on identity, power, shadow and the possibility of healing through the deep work of mythopoetic masculinity.
