About the event
This year, our November Gathering will focus on our organisation's future, as well as our own journeys. While the work of supporting and deepening each other in our respective spiritual journeys remains woven into the fabric of the weekend, we will also be discussing important matters concerning how we operate, including leadership, membership, and future Rites of Passage.
This work on The Male Journey as a body is not separate from our inner work together. It is part and parcel of how we hold and work with each other. We invite your insights, your experience and your wisdom. We will approach our discussions using the Way of Council, with time in Nature to guide us. The wisdom that emerges at the centre of the circle during this weekend will guide the decisions made in the coming months by our trustees, action circle members, Rites team members, and others.
There's also much to celebrate in the year gone by: another successful Rites, growth in local groups, and events ranging from Return to Source to the Enneagram to West African Drumming. And, as always, we will share some good craic together!
