Unfold the Elder Within
In times of crisis a community looks to its elders for stability, wisdom and good mental health. Some say elders are an endangered species. Yet age can come without wisdom.
How do we awaken the elder within, and get ourselves in the right shape to become the elders of tomorrow? What are the challenges men face against this?
What does reverence, myth, sovereignty, the tree of life, imagination, soul speech, heart, death, healing, and ancestors have to do with it?
In these workshops we will deepen and embody our capacities to relate well with our inner wisdom as well as relate well with the great unknown. Together we can also take a closer look at the conditioning that needs to die.
You will be supported by a small community (max.9) of like-minded men to activate the great character of your life, the one that carries your unique creativity and medicine.
We include play, movement, embodied presence work, improvisations, writing, reflection, myth stories, poetry, and short personal performances. It's an honouring and grounding of the things important to your wellbeing.
No previous experience is needed. We work at a pace suited to you, with no pressure to perform.

Its powerful to see and be seen, and feeling held in that, held by an ocean of men. The whole series was a lifting of the shroud that covers my light. I recommend Phil's work. His love, passion and enthusiasm for men and for men’s work, for humanity shines through him.

Phil facilitates the group with kindness, openness, humility and great skill. These are the fruits of his own commitment to growth and healing over many decades. He embodies the wise elder who has walked, and continues to walk, the difficult path of fully embracing his unique life journey. It is a privilege to get to work with him.
