A deep preparation for one's time in darkness.
In our ongoing exploration of how best to support people in their preparation for darkness retreat - we are collaborating with our dear friends at Cascadia Quest again and offering another weekend-long all men's grief ceremony on our retreat land here in Southern Oregon.
Tending Male Fire is a unique opportunity for men to gather for the weekend as we turn towards our tender hearts and explore an unseen world of grief.
This will be a four day and three night wilderness retreat and ceremony for men only from October 3rd - 6th, 2024.
ALL MEN'S WEEKEND-LONG GRIEF
Retreat
EMBRACING OUR
grief
"Grieving is an art that when it is fully known and made to actively happen in all its grandeur and integrity, is the backbone of all real peace."
~ Martin Prechtel
We live in a culture where grief, anger, sadness, and all "negative" emotions are immediately swept under the rug and never given a real space to move.
During our Tending Male Fire retreat, we'll dive deeply into three critical aspects of male fire and healthy masculinity: Anger, Grief, and Power.
In a strong, supportive circle of brothers, you'll experience the healthy release of anger; anger, which so often covers the softer emotions beneath.
You’ll learn the tools of grief-tending and feel the relief of its release. Feeling freer with these weights off your shoulders, you’ll better know your power and its healthy movement in the world.
