Conscious Manhood - Past, Present and Future
Saturday, 27th February, 14:00 - 18:00
"Boys don't cry" - since we were just a few years old, we have heard what was expected of us as men from our families, our schoolmates and our society. Some of us have followed the traditional man’s script successfully. Some of us have worked hard to redefine the story of what being a man is. This is a call for men who want to take self-responsibility while finding their brothers-in-arms. But not to fight or rage a war against anything internal or external. Instead, this is an invitation to make peace with oneself as a man and other authentic expressions of masculinity.
