Oregon Spirit Camp October 10-12, 2008 Camp Adams - near Portland OR |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You are warmly invited Many men are surprised by the empowering and healing effect that supportive, honest, and soulful male solidarity can have. Men gather together for these weekends to explore together the Great Winds that drive us and to support each other in the process of maturing our deep masculine, of facing our fears and edges, and of being men of service in the world. We welcome you to the first annual Oregon Spirit and Soul Retreat. This weekend is a great way to experience MLA. It is a chance for you to meet other men, receive support, and experience our unique way of being together as men, what is sometimes called “men’s work”.
During the weekend, we will sit in large and small groups to witness and listen to each other. In a simple way, we learn from each others’ life experiences and visions. When one man openly engages his story, we find that many men can be served as they witness and listen. To deepen our consciousness, we do some pan-cultural ritual together. We will invite men into a period of silence and solo time. All spiritual beliefs and ways are welcome at these retreats. Each man chooses to engage and create the experience in his own way, the way that best works for him. All are welcome and all that is in your story is welcome, the light and the dark, the joy and the sadness, the laughter and the anger. In many ways Humanity is being challenged to the core question of its own survival. How as men do we care for ourselves so we may be tools of mending, inspiration, and love? How do we as men, in the midst of a culture of control, consumerism, and conquest, find our authentic, soulful way being men? Young men Eighteen and Older and Elders are Encouraged to Attend These men offer invaluable insights that are a critical source of guidance and balance during the gathering. Location and Times Camp Adams, a retreat center 35 miles from Portland in Molalla, Oregon. The gathering begins Friday at 7pm (soup supper 5 – 7pm) and ends Sunday by 2pm. Bring a friend, a young man, a father and son, a grandfather or sponsor someone to attend! |
