• Iron John, by Robert Bly

     The Iron John Initiation – Journey to Genius offers an in-depth reading and discovery of Robert Bly’s masterful work about men. Following the plot-line of an ancient folk tale, Bly explores the process of maturation and growth from boyhood to manhood. Significant parallels arise between the ancient tale and our day-to-day experience in the world. Filled with insights into the process of development and growth, the study of Iron John sheds light on every aspect of becoming clearer and stronger in your daily walk as a men in today’s world. Of particular interest in the journey is the process of Katabasis, the vertical descent. In the initiation we learn to “go down” consciously with support, and learn how to rise back up again, better than before. The alternative being that we stumble along in the dark and allow life to “take us down,” and find ourselves lost on the journey! Matthew helps participants find the path into and through that shadow, so that they come through it wiser and deeper and ready for all that life sends their way.
