Whatever Happened to the Mythopoetic Men's Movement?
In the early 1990s tens of thousands of men flocked to men's
retreats and men's conferences. Robert Bly's Iron John
became the first men's movement book to make the New York
Times bestsellers list. The Mythopoetic men's movement
grew rapidly and drew the attention of major media,
including Time, Newsweek, 60 minutes, and
20/20.
But as quickly as the movement rose, it largely
disappeared. Whatever happened to the Mythopoetic men's
movement?
Dr. Stephen Johnson, founder of the
Men's Center
Los Angeles , still holds Mythopoetic men's retreats
twice a year. He and Timothy "Whispering Eagle" Aguilar, a
Shaman who co-facilitates the center's retreats, joined
Glenn.
Johnson founded the
Men's Center
Los Angeles in 1989. The center provides services for:
anger management; relationship issues; divorce mediation;
premarital counseling: career and workplace issues;
family/parenting challenges; spiritual transformation; and
others.
