Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

This program features Robert Bly, guru of the men's consciousness movement, leading a group of men in some techniques for tapping into and integrating the emotional and intuitive side of their being. Bly, who authored Iron John, set off a wave of interest in men seeking to make themselves whole by addressing this feminine aspect of themselves, while recognizing the strengths of their male qualities. Here, Bly facilitates the group in reading poetry, exploring mythology, sharing personal stories, and joining together in song and dance.
