While women’s movements are foundational in the struggle to create a far more just, equitable and compassionate world, we will never solve the whole problem unless we transform the outmoded but dominant toxic ideas of what a “real man” is. Join leading figures in the quest to forge a new form of Sacred Manhood who have worked in very challenging environments to help at-risk boys and men transition to far healthier and more productive ways of inhabiting their bodies, minds, communities, and the planet. With: Jerry Tello, co-founder of the Healing Generations Institute, NCN; Jewel Love Jr., psychotherapist and CEO of Black Executive Men; Hector Sanchez-Flores, Executive Director of the National Compadres Network (NCN). Hosted by Will Scott, co-founder of the Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education.
