TherapyKC is offering a five-week mens group study.
Our meetings will take place every Wednesday, from April 3rd to May 1st, from 6:15pm to 8:00pm.
One of the issues we face in adulthood is a difficulty finding quality information about what healthy masculine psychology looks like. "KING, WARRIOR, MAGICIAN, LOVER: Rediscovering The Archetypes Of The Mature Masculine" by Moore and Gillette is has been helpful guide in growing that understanding. This book offers readers a chance to reimagine and deepen our understanding of the masculine psyche. If you prefer audio books we will include a link to the free audio book as well as dozens of lectures from one of the authors on these archetypes.
A quote from the Preface:
"Our purpose in writing this book... has been to offer men a simplified and readable outline of an "operator's manual for the male psyche." Reading this book should help you understand your strengths and weaknesses as a man and provide you with a map of the territories of masculine selfhood which you need to explore." -Moore and Gillette
Intentions for the group:
-Coming together to learn, support and strive towards growth.
-To make films, literature and history come alive and become reminders of the mature masculine.
-In depth discussion about archetypes and experiential exercise to deepen learning.
-Collaborative and interpersonal meetings.
-A space for: "rough draft" thoughts, questions and discussing mature masculinity.
-Theoretical and personally practical discussions.
-It will NOT become a group analysis of what each other share. "Rescuing" or telling other's what they "should do" will not be welcome.
