Bio
John was lucky enough to stumble upon on the nascent mytho-poetic men’s movement 30 years ago, learning from Robert Bly, Michael Meade, Malidoma Some, Robert Moore, James Hillman and Martin Prechtel. He went on to study extensively with Pretchtel and Some, developing his own deep sense of ritual and the sacred, which he has sought to weave with traditions here, tapping into his skills as story teller, writer and life coach. He is now exploring how to create ‘life stage marking’ events. A sportsman and lover of the outdoors, as often as possible in his native Northumberland, he is also very aware, from over 35 years in banking and business of the need to ground these learnings in the practicalities of the day to day world we live in.
Previous Workshops
John has previously offered the workshop “Fathers: Who Needs Them?” at Wider Horizons, exploring what Robert Bly, protest poet and men’s work leader, called ‘the Father Gap’ using poetry and in groups, small and large.
