The Call to Adventure...

According to the fairy tale Iron John, made famous by Robert Bly's book of the same title, there is a Wild Man that lives in the primordial psyche of the masculinity.

For modern men, the Wild Man has been caged and domesticated in the courtyard of the king. And yet, there comes a time every man’s life, there comes a moment when he realizes he must "steal the key" to free the Wild Man.

The key to his vitality, his sovereignty, his erotic power.

Yet this is not a key given freely—it must be taken, wrested from the conditioning, the expectations, and the unconscious Mother Complex that keeps him confined.

Without this task, men are caught between extremes: the good boy who follows the rules, seeking approval and avoiding risk, and the rebel who rejects all structure in a desperate attempt to reclaim lost freedom.

Both are shadows of something deeper, something wilder.

This webinar will explore:

• The Mother Archetype and Its Influence on Men’s Sexuality – How unconscious attachment to the mother can inhibit sexual maturation.

• Stealing the Key – How to break free from confused maternal dynamics and claim full sovereignty as a man.

• Eroticism & Power – How to contextualize sexuality in relation to "eros" the primal force of life.

• Healing the Split – Understanding the Madonna-Whore dynamic and integrating the feminine in a way that unified for men & women.

• A Map for the Journey – How to integrate the lessons of this mythopoetic integration into everyday life.

Who This is For:

This webinar is for men & women who wish to learn about this aspect of masculinity.

This is for men who feel the pull toward something deeper—who sense that their sexuality, relationships, and power are still tied to the unseen forces of the Mother complex. 

This is also for mother's with sons who want to know more about how to better support them in their erotic maturity.
