Join Frank Dunn and Michael Kerosky in this conversation about a central issue in men’s lives—how to cultivate an openness of mind and heart capable of not resisting the tough, the tender, the painful, the sad that life dishes out to all of us. We are, on the whole, socialized to resist, to protect our individuality, to distrust anyone who penetrates our armor. Of course this isn’t true for all of us all the time. Even so, opportunities for welcoming strange people and unusual things occasion even the most flexible and open men to need some affirmation and support.
• Examine what “non-resistance” is for you, expecially the parts of your life where you have difficulty adapting, accepting, and changing your behavior.
• Reflect on how both your sexual pleasure and your spiritual aliveness are tied to being able to “resist resistance” at crucial points.
• Learn the value of submission even if it might not come naturally, and even though there are times to resist and not submit.
We want you to be with us.

Retreats
StoneSong 2020
“Rituals for Body and Spirit”
July 15-20, 2020
Are you ready for a deep dive into the place where your erotic desires and your spiritual life converge? Come spend five sweet days, July 15-19, 2020, in a community of open-hearted men where shame and judgment have no place--where the longings of your body are food for your soul. If you’re seeking the adventure of looking deep within and celebrating what you find there with a band of loving, supportive fellow travelers, this retreat is for you. If you want to go even deeper, elect to stay an additional day, July 20.
Take your place in a fellowship of erotically awakened, spiritually aware, open-hearted men. Together we'll celebrate the presence of the Sacred in our bodies and honor the desires that spring from the depths of our souls. We'll affirm our place in Creation amidst the natural beauty of western Maryland's rolling hills.
For full information, check out the retreat website, where you’ll find full information on costs and program.
