Event
The Masculine Soul
Can masculinity be both wild and sacred? In a post-Weinstein, me too world, can poet Mary Olivers soulful exhortation to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves truly apply to men? Nick Thorpe believes so. Here he offers an interactive workshop that seeks to go beyond the often-binary media narrative in search of the distinctive gifts and spiritual needs of men, and to explore how men and women might experience 'the masculine soul'. All genders are warmly welcome.
Nick Thorpe is an award-winning writer, coach and speaker on subjects ranging from risk-taking to male rites of passage, his delivery of the Scottish Governments Year of the Dad campaign in 2016 highlighted the emotional development of men and boys as a win-win for gender equality. A passionate and involved adoptive dad, Nick has spent the past ten years learning from mens circles and 1:1 client work. A keen kayaker and spiritual searcher, he lives by the sea in Edinburgh, where he often coaches clients in midlife transition. www.nickthorpe.co.uk
