Gabriel’s talk is called “The Cultural Somatics of Myth & The Crisis of Masculinity”
We are in a crisis of masculinity. As a collective body of culture, we are going through a massive initiation as multiple crises of the world intersect. This is a time of radical reclaiming, healing and transformation. The ancient Russian tale of the Firebird contains clues and guidance on our paths of awakening. In this presentation, Gabriel will carry in the story of the Firebird and, together with the audience, feed the story and explore its relevance in our lives and for this moment in order to turn crisis into a catalyst for courage and growth.
