You are warmly invited
On a quest to find out who you are? Do you live in a world of fear, living as you think the
world wants you to be or in your own authentic and fearless dream? Join with us in a safe
container to explore your wounds and celebrate your masculinity. This will be a time to dance
with your shadow, connect with your ancestors and find common emotional ground with other men.
"And these are the words of the lesson...I am a man,
I am a wounded man, I am a deeply wounded man. I own my own wounds and all the power
therein belongs to me to do as I wish - to do my bidding. And the world shall yet
know the power of my loving...the power of my wounds...and I will surely do it."
"The Words of the Lesson",
Bruce "Wolf" Boehlen

Join us this spring on the Western Highland Rim of Tennessee. Become empowered, connected and
healed - ready to serve yourself and ready to serve your community and your world.
You are a blessing to the world. Come and express yourself. Come and find yourself.
Support and the intention of the gathering
Held in the month of May. A time of renewal and rebirth, of wildflowers and fireflies. Redfern
is a sacred and safe place that has witnessed much powerful men’s work. We will come together
in council, dance, music and ritual. We will stand in the fire together and listen and be heard
without judgment. Tears will be as welcome as laughter. Tom Daly, Jeffrey Duvall and Keith Fairmont,
the senior staff, who have worked together for more than twenty years in creating safe containers
for men to do their sacred work, will lead us throughout the weekend.
Young men Eighteen and Older
and Elders are Encouraged to Attend
These men offer invaluable insights that are a critical source of guidance
and balance during the gathering.
Bring a friend, a young
man, a father and son, a grandfather or sponsor someone to attend!
