PAST EVENT
The Mythic Masculine
Hosted by Ian MacKenzie, The Mythic Masculine explores conversations on mythology, culture and emerging masculinities.
The Mythic Masculine presents: A Gathering of Stories
A Gathering of Stories is an online storytelling event, centered around stories and performances that speak to and illuminate masculinity. We have an incredible lineup of storytellers, poets, and musicians, curated over two beautiful days.
Many would say the Masculine has been ill for some time. Whether we speak of men, or the inner Masculine within us all – many are struggling under violence, depression and addiction, or lost in toxic power games and perpetuating ecological collapse.
In the era of #metoo and the scales of social justice tipping toward a much needed reckoning, there seem to be few pathways towards a Masculine that is powerful, nurturing, and connected. Perhaps we might look to the old stories for guidance, to shine light anew on modern challenges and illuminate how we might yet become?
This inaugural Gathering of Stories is aimed at shining a beacon of possibility and magic, at a time when the mythic imagination must play a vital role once again.
