Under Saturn’s Shadow, The Wounding and Healing of Men
December 2, 1994 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PST
All men labor under the weight of a Saturnian expectation of what it means to be a man. Much of this definition is a patriarchal compensation for the fear which haunts their lives and loves-a fear they can seldom acknowledge lest they be shamed. So they hide their inner life from their partners and, most of all, from themselves. This lecture will identify the central fears of men, their most common secrets, their strategies for self-protection, and steps for healing this inner split and self-alienation. This lecture is for men and for women who want to know a man.
