Re-storying Masculinity

What is the current state of contemporary masculinity and what sociocultural forces, historical events, psychological patterns, mythic stories, and rigid constructs shape(d) it? How do we look into the heart of patriarchal masculinity and heal the wounds of today? In re-storying the future of masculinities, how do we embrace a diversity of expression and forms, and make space for each one as they come into being? Let us embark on the journey of re-storying. The journey begins with diagnosing and contextualising contemporary masculinities and men’s work. Moving into psychological realms we explore how we might heal the inner child, and the Mother Wound often seen to be at the heart of patriarchal masculinity. Continuing along the lines of reparenting, we look at rebuilding fathering cultures and the role of community. We look towards possibilities for liberated futures, examining the intersections of masculinity and sexuality, and masculinity and coloniality. The journey concludes with new-old mythological frameworks for restorying masculinity. Guided by Ian MacKenzie, re-storying masculinity featuring a collective of storytellers, culture workers, wisdom carriers, and more.

Masculinity today: rituals, identity and mythos Picture

Masculinity today: rituals, identity and mythos

Our journey begins with a diagnosis of contemporary masculinities within a historical, social and cultural framework, with a focus on how wider sociocultural forces shape men’s relationships. We will explore the impulses behind contemporary “men’s work”, and historically and culturally contextualise this movement in contemporary history. Why is it seeing a resurgence today? We explore the intra- and inter-personal worlds that shape contemporary masculinities, and seek to understand how they are textured by unseen patterns of power, and influenced by events in our recent past.
