Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

Boys are raised to ignore their emotions or risk being viewed as weak or “unmanly.” This is creating a mental health crisis among our young men. Even before COVID-19, suicide and violence among males was increasing and boys are 3 times more likely to abuse drugs. As women are beginning to allow themselves to be more powerful in the world outside the home, including politics, it is time for males to discover their softer side and allow themselves to feel and express the whole range of human emotions. By inhibiting the emotions that aren’t considered to be “manly,” they are preventing themselves from feeling the highest forms of love, intimacy and joy. It is time for men and women to come into the full spectrum of what it means to be human and experience both their masculine and feminine qualities because in fact, we are not one or the other. We all need to come into a new kind of balance that allows us to be fully human. Please join us Thursday to learn more about Sacred Masculinity.
