Mythopoetic men's movement
The Mythopoetic men's movement emerged in the 1980s as a cultural effort to explore and redefine men's identities through the lens of mythology, poetry, and ritual. It emphasizes personal growth, emotional expression, and reconnecting with traditional male archetypes rooted in stories and symbols. By fostering brotherhood and self-awareness, proponents aim to help men develop a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity outside societal expectations. The movement often involves retreats, workshops, and storytelling as tools for healing and transformation, seeking to create a more balanced and meaningful understanding of masculinity.
