The 9 Paths of Manhood
All 4 Sundays in March 2022
9a-12p Pacific/10a-1p Mountain/11a-2p Central/12p-3p Eastern
Explore and experience how all nine types of men have unique ways of being that we can all employ to be our own best man and to be more fully hu-man and alive.
This is an interactive series on the experiences we have as boys and men, using the Enneagram as our guide. The Enneagram describes that we have different and preferred ways of thinking, feeling and behaving; it is a map to universal inner and outer territories. While we often gravitate to certain regions, we visit them all daily throughout our lives, so every discussion can apply to you. Join an exploration with skilled trainers and other men interested in meaningful conversation on being men.

We all bring roles, experiences, stories, curiosities with us to this work.
How do each of us address issues such as:
Relationships and Sex,
Communication and Conflict Styles,
Physical-Emotional-Spiritual Health,
Struggling with Our Passions and Defense Mechanisms
Relating Well with Partners And Spouses,
Friendships with Other Men,
Fatherhood, Aging,
Rage and Anger,
Shame, Grief and Loss,
Anxiety and Fear,
Finding Guidance,
Being an Engaged Citizen/Son/Brother/Father/Uncle/Friend/Mentor...
How does our own type help or hinder these experiences?
How do other men experience and respond?
How does our culture/community/geography affect our expression of being a man?

Each individual type’s focus/strengths/challenges may provide wisdom on what supports or thwarts our own development as men, so we listen to one another. We may find benefit in being in right measure with our own way and the ways of other healthy men, and then find our way closer to Being Our Best Man:
- In integrity and good humor, like Type 1 Idealists
- Resourceful and genuine, like Type 2 Connectors
- Compassionate and truthful, like Type 3 Performers
- Sensitive to all and authentic, like Type 4 Romantics
- Wise in experience and accessible, like Type 5 Observers
- Consciously loyal and courageous, like Type 6 Loyalists
- Accepting, patient and expansive, like Type 7 Epicures
- Vulnerable, strong and magnanimous, like Type 8 Protectors
- Empathic, reflective and effective, like Type 9 Mediators
Deep learning and change happens over time and in continuous community.
Expand your community of friends who talk type, character development, men and modern masculinity.
