A Tribe For Men.
A journey into maturity, confidence & purpose.
All men have four powerful forces influencing them from their unconscious: often referred to as the King, the Warrior, the Magician and the Lover. These are sometimes called ‘archetypes’ and we see these characters in movies, books and even in our dreams.
The Tempering helps men to identify which of the energies they are already well connected with and which areas that there is room for growth of some kind. Without learning to harness the powers of each of these forces, men can run into difficulties. When they are balanced and online, a man is able to step into his maturity: a true asset to himself, his family and friends and his community.
Right now in the world, we desperately need strong, good men who are able to open their hearts to the world and stand up for those that cannot stand up for themselves.
The Tempering Process
The Tempering process in metalwork involves strengthening steel through the process of repeated heating and cooling. In much the same way, the Tempering group offers a safe, supportive container for men to share, express and build resilience together. Whether you are looking to develop your mental, emotional or spiritual maturity, and / or struggling with depression, anxiety, anger issues, relationship issues, motivation issues, etc. The Tempering group space could be right for you.
Support of the Tribe
Some would say that it is impossible to know who you are as a man or what you want without the support of and connection with your male tribe. In traditional cultures, this was seen as tremendously important, but in modern Western culture, men can often feel detached, lonely and powerless.
The Tempering helps you to connect with other men and support each other to move towards your full potential. This is likely to involve developing a sense of what gives your life meaning and what your calling or purpose is. If you have experienced an absent, distant or emotionally unavailable father, then the support of the tribe can be particularly important.
…Don’t worry if some of this is unfamiliar to you: all will become clear!
