Men on the Path : Beyond the Hero’s Journey

When several male faculty asked the president of their school how they could help the female faculty during the MeToo movement, it was suggested that they strengthen their own aspects of both sacred masculine and divine feminine.The men were offered an opportunity to experience a shamanic journey to Ancient Forests,Paleolithic Painted Caves,Hidden Sacred Springs, Medieval Pilgrimage sites,Gothic Cathedrals in France.
This Caves to Cathedrals pilgrimage was lead and designed by women specializing in a deep way of knowing ourselves by connecting to basic elements of Mother Nature. The journey was one of remembering and awakening and balancing both masculine and feminine aspects in each of us. This sense of personal wisdom helps us navigate the labyrinth of life's challenges. The men returned with a expanded sense of their own awareness that we are all pilgrims on our unique journeys and that we are all part of a larger cosmos.

Director Statement

Men on The Path:Beyond the Hero's Journey was a passion project that evolved from my first pilgrimage to the Prehistoric Painted Caves in the South of France. From discovering these early places of worship of our ancestors to the medieval and modern cathedrals, the men experienced the architecture based on bringing the forest inside as well as recreating the sacredness
of the cave. From a shamanic perspective the pilgrimage offered a deep connection to nature and its relationship to our nature with a unifying vision of the universe.
