Immerse yourself in the healing waters and be nurtured by your brothers. We gather to connect deeply with ourselves and each other in a caring, supportive environment.
What: Nurturing the Masculine: a men's circle, soak, and sweat
When: Wednesday, Feb 4th
Where: Maitreya Retreat
Join us for an afternoon of caring connection with men of all ages. We gather to nurture and restore ourselves. We gather to share our experiences, to share a song or two, to sweat and soak together, and to share a meal. All are wanted, all are welcome...exactly as you are.
This space is held by Daniel Mollner and lightly facilitated with plenty of room for group and individual input. Everything in the schedule is optional. Each man is at choice at all times and encouraged to take 100% responsibility for his experience.
See the schedule below. Arrive no later than 2:30pm (no one admitted after that time) and plan to stay until 6pm.
NOTE: Maitreya is normally closed on Wednesdays and we've got all it to ourselves for this special gathering. Bring your own towel and enter through the side gate.

/// Potluck is a shared meal with each man contributing something food or drink wise. Please bring something you have prepared yourself if possible and not a deli or take out type item. This portion of the gathering while being fun and delicious is also very intentional and making food for each other is a powerful way to nurture one another.
/// Bring your own towel!
/// Park in the back lot and enter through the side gate.
