Class Description:
Human culture is rapidly evolving and transforming in the global community. In this river of change we are being swept downstream in currents of technology and industry that our elders have only recently witnessed the birth of. Brand new ideas, new ways of connecting with each other, and new modes of defining our world have left us dizzy and in wonder. This blur of evolution has made it is easy to loose ourselves, to forget our humanity. In this immersive week we will gather together as males to remember our collective power in this evolution. As the boys walk the path of becoming young men, we will look at what it means to find compassion for one another and serve the people of our community as warriors of a new era. Being a healthy human requires balance, and we will actively embrace our softer natures, seeking to remember our feminine strengths. In the excursions we take into nature, we will quest to know our place in this evolving human picture and allow the positive potential of our future to be our guide. Boys who undergo this process will leave with a better understanding of how to keep their center amidst stressful situations, how to better manage their emotional reactions, how to find peace in a busy world, and how to be an example of what is right and true on their path. As we explore nature together, we will discover the positive qualities of masculinity, learn to work as a group, and find our place in this exciting space of the present moment.
