BLESSINGS AND CURSES
ON THE
JOURNEY OF MANHOOD

Saturday & Sunday October 23 & 24, 2010

A two-day Men's Psychodramatic event
Incorporating myth, poetry, storytelling and
dramatic participation.

Led by Ben Dennis PhD and Ron Hogan MA.

“Then she asked him if he would rather take a small cake with her blessing to eat on his journey, or a large cake with her curse?”

In this experiential workshop we will weave the timeless oral tradition of myth and story with the modern therapeutic process of Psychodrama to explore the archetypal themes of Blessings, Curses, and the
Journey of Manhood in our Everyday World.

What has made you the man you are?
How can you become the man you want to be?
Please join us in this exploration as we challenge and nurture each other as men.

Date: October 23-24 Sat 9am to ~9pm, Sun 9am to ~3pm
(Meal breaks are on your own)

Place: 3414 Fremont Ave N, Suite D, (Fremont district) Seattle, WA.
