with EBMC’s Men of Color Deep Refuge Group

We warmly invite all self-identified men of color and people of color who are on the spectrum of masculine identities including trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming.*

Together, we will explore our diverse experiences and definitions of survival, resistance, and resiliency, and how we can bring balance to our individual and collective experience as “men of color”* in our global community. Through meditation, movement, and facilitated discussion, we will discover the various components of our masculine energy and uncover socially conditioned patterns, in order to refine and reconnect to our authentic human nature.  Here are some questions that reflect our growing and learning edge as a group.  How has masculine conditioning shaped the kind of help we can request and receive from our community?  What parts of masculine conditioning limit our access to the full spectrum of emotional and spiritual expression? What helps to create resilience for our communities? What is our core identification as a group? What does it mean to be “men” within the framework of inclusivity and the gender spectrum? Navigating the world, we recognize we cannot do this work alone; therefore, we invite you to join us in sacred community as we collectively connect and cultivate a deeper understanding of what it means to be mindful men of color*.
