"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star"
—Nietzsche

MoMen ReturnWe shall not cease from our exploration, And the end of all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time. —T. S. Eliot
The MoMen Return weekend is a return to where we started. It is an exploration into the four principles of presence. The focus is to delve deeply into the relational next steps of the four chambered heart, the four phantoms of fear and the resulting shadow behavior. Dynamic exercises will be provided to support an inward journey and then the opportunity to share these private stories with each other.
The intention of the weekend is to take advantage of the wooded area of the Pebble Ledges. Living in tents, we will have the magic of solitude, the comfort of the surrounding forest, and the support of the community of other MoMen. Woven into the fabric of the weekend are experiences that support personal and interpersonal explorations of whom are you as a man in today’s world.
MoMen Return will occur July 12-15, 2008. Start-up is 9:00 AM on Saturday, July 12th with a brief hello and get to know each other before we build our village and homes for the weekend. One or two small villages will be created depending on how many MoMen Return.

Food and tents are provided for the weekend. However, all sleeping gear, eating utensils, and personal items must be brought to the weekend. In addition, we are asking that each MoMan bring 2-3 gallons of water that will be used for drinking and washing stations.
MoMen Return Extended is a natural bridge of three additional days to deepen the work. Those staying will come together to complete further exercises and each per will be provided the opportunity for extended personal time with Herb or Will.
The first four days will complete an organic experience that will not complete all exercises in the manual. Hence, there will be alone time to reflect on and complete the exercises and then process in community.
Each man staying over for the additional three days will be provided two hours of noninterrupted time to address personal or professional issues. Generally, the time will be provided as a walk through the woods, time sitting at the Pebble Ledges, or standing along the river’s bank.
