Hello Gents,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring.

Below is some information about workshops being done by John Lee the author of Flying Boy. I have attended a mens' weekend with John as one of the leaders. He does an excellent job as the leader of workshops. I hope some of you will consider attending one of these workshops. The workshops are at a place called Hawkwind in northern Alabama.
I hope to attend the one in July and possibly October.

Men and their Struggle with Intimacy
Men and their held in, repressed, bottled up or explosive anger can have very negative consequences if not expressed appropriately on a regular basis. Unexpressed anger turns into rage and chronic emotional tension which robs us of valuable energy, vitality, and health, and thus can lead to us not only hurting ourselves, but also those we love or work with.
This is a safe, supportive, non-shaming setting to do anger work and grief work (they go hand-in-hand), whether it is dealing with loss, death, divorce, disease or childhood trauma. Grieving is a key to healing.

Boys to Men to Elders: Understanding Emotional Regression & Passivity
This weekend we will explore and expand the term “regression”—the best kept secret in Psychology and Recovery and passivity—the compulsion to be attached to not having the things we say we really want and desire which keeps men living a half-lived life, half in and half out of relationships and not being able to commit to their own creativity.
During this down-to-earth, fast-paced workshop you will:
Learn why we regress and what to do about itIdentify the red flags of regression
Explore the five things that will grow you or your client back up every time
