An 8-week exploration of the old European story Iron Hans / Iron John and it’s relevance to the soul of men in our current age.

“The images the old stories give are meant to be taken slowly into the body. They continue to unfold, once taken in.”

— Robert Bly (preface to Iron John)

Over the course of eight Sundays, we will take a slow walk through the story that ignited a movement toward mature masculinity back in the 1980s and 90s. Using Robert Bly’s seminal book Iron John as a guide, we will traverse through the themes of:

• Male Initiation

• The Role of the Father / King

• Men’s Relationship to the Feminine

• Awakening the Inner Warrior

• The Archetypal Wound

Each week we’ll read a portion of the story together and discuss the theme of the week, following the eight chapters of Bly’s Iron John.

Who is it for?

We welcome men of all ages, cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations.
