As I continued to offer my HealthyMasculine.com circles for all genders, I was often asked about feminine archetypes, and how to balance Masculine & Feminine within ourselves. So we created a series called Dynamic Wholeness as a way of exploring “Masculine” and “Feminine” in each one of us through the doorway of archetypes (or energies) that interact and express uniquely in all beings.
The problem is that we have built (in society) gender identities around these energies, categories which can be limiting and unhelpful. So we don’t see them as gender categories necessarily – although of course they relate! Any being can relate with, explore and express their own embodiment of Masculine or Feminine energies. This can unearth some of the implicit biases or judgments or history we’ve inherited unconsciously, and can help to compassionately witness them and loosen them up. It may also give us more choice about how we embody – or don’t embody – Masculine & Feminine energies.
This way of holding space invites curiosity about ourselves and each other and brings a new awareness to access our wholeness as Masculine and Feminine energies interact and express uniquely through every person and group.
It’s all about choice
We are not here to say there is a “right” or “wrong” way to relate to these energies. Some people may not feel that they relate to them at all. That’s fine. We’re here to hold conversations that help us to unearth any histories and judgments, to appreciate some of the possibilities or qualities opened to us, and to come more into choice about how we relate with or embody these energies. We are, in today’s world, looking for ways to re-define gender in a more satisfying way.
To do so, we offer an 8 week ceremonial series for people of all genders & identities who wish to invoke, explore & awaken a more nourishing and reciprocal relationship between Masculine & Feminine elements within themselves, and between each other. Embodied, experiential activities, as well as an exploration of various archetypes, will be interspersed with verbal sharing and reflection, allowing participants to weave a rich tapestry of shared inquiry.
Join this conversation to share and unpack your personal experiences of these powerful archetypal qualities, and to collectively rewrite the script of gender and culture in the world today.
