SUMMARY:ReWild for Men with Jaime Howell
DESCRIPTION:ReWild: Men\, Power & Purpose\nA three-day rite of passage for men hungry for a wiser relationship with strength\, grief\, purpose\, and belonging. \nA long weekend to slow down\, come back to yourself\, and reconnect with the parts of being human that modern life often pushes aside. \nThrough music\, guided movement\, time in nature\, council practice\, creative exploration\, and honest conversation\, we will explore what it means to mature into wholehearted adulthood in a time of ecological and cultural change. \nThis work is grounded in nature-based human development\, rites of passage traditions\, the power of music and the wider movement known as The Great Turning. \nAt the heart of the human experience is our relationship with power. Power is the underbelly of modernity. Modernity is the dominant system built on separation\, certainty\, endless growth\, and the exploitation of people and Earth. The quest for power shows up in domination over nature\, unbridled capitalism and greed\, and the echoes and inheritance of colonisation. \nMany men carry the wounds of all this in their bodies and into their relationships. We are aware that many fathers did not know how to attune to the needs of their children\, their own fathers often damaged by war. \nMaturing masculinity is about the choice we have to heal and make whole these wounds\, to use them to become more aware and compassionate\, to help each other\, and to support younger men and children to come. \nWe are living in times that call for a healthy\, life-affirming relationship with power. The theme of this retreat is to come into an embodied form of power with life — the power of wisdom\, the power of interconnectedness\, the power of deeply belonging. A form of power rooted in presence\, responsibility\, courage\, and care. \nWho is this for? \n\nMen seeking more creativity\, vitality\, and purpose.\nMen carrying responsibility in leadership\, family\, business\, or community who are interested in Rites of passage processes.\nMen navigating transition\, midlife\, loss\, or change.\nMen longing for deeper connections with other men.\nMen who want to grow\, laugh\, feel more alive\, and belong to something larger than themselves.\nMen who value art\, myth\, poetry\, music\, and imagination as pathways to transformation\n\n\n\nMeet Your\nYour Guide Jaime Howell\nJaime Howell (MEd Transformative Education) is founder of the Centre for the Great Turning and has spent many years working with nature-based rites of passage\, grief work\, and community processes that help people reconnect with belonging and purpose.
