Men and the Quest

– From Wasteland to Wonder

A Five-Day Mythodrama Adventure

led by Richard Olivier and Michael Boyle, with assistance from Robin Alfred and special guest presenter Robert Moore. Download the Event flyer.

Saturday 5th –10th July, 2008 (5 days)

Each man’s life is lived on the edge between going out into the world and going deeper inside, between climbing the ladder of spirit and wandering the dark roads of the soul.

The myth of Parzival is an archetypal story that contains ancient wisdom of the need for and the process of male initiation. Parzival is the naive young man who painfully learns that an honourable life requires a quest for meaning that transcends individual triumph and ultimately serves a greater whole. On his path from the wasteland to a sense of wonder he is initiated into the deep masculine potentials of King, Warrior, Magician and Lover.

Mythodrama is an exciting new form of experiential learning. It draws on the shamanic origins of theatre to enable participants to live through initiatory stories and to personally embody new found knowledge in a powerful and memorable way.

The potentially healing reach of community is most tenuous between generations of males – therein lies the danger. This highly experiential workshop will prove particularly interesting and valuable for teachers, youth and probation workers, and men wishing to engage youth in meaningful and creative ways.

Book early, bring a drum. Places are limited to 100 men.
