MANifest: a gathering of men creating the masculine together

at Skyview

Brotherhood, camaraderie, fellowship, challenge and support...how do men create and define the masculine together? And most importantly how can getting in touch with that improve our lives and the lives of those around us?

Join us for a weekend of powerful and playful exploration in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains. Together we will enjoy drumming, dancing, singing, hiking, cooking and eating together. There will be workshops, discussion groups, process work, and ceremony/ritual as well as free time to rest and relax. Take a look at the schedule below. Everything in the weekend is optional and you are always at choice.

Spend a weekend immersed in the wonderful world of Men, being in a male body, and evolving what that experience is for ourselves and future generations. Whether you are brand new to men's work or you've been immersed in it for years you are most welcome and wanted here! Includes all classes, workshops, and activities PLUS organic meals and camping.

**Note** This gathering is designed for a maximum of 25 men so register soon to reserve your spot!
