Seeing the Beauty in Helping Men

We live in a time which is hard for men, one wherein many men, including many good men, have been blamed for the ill and evil present in our world. Sadly, few seem to notice how these hate filled accusations impair our abilities to love and connect to each other, not just to the men in our lives; our fathers, grandfathers, heroes, and teachers; but also to the women in our lives; our mothers, grandmothers, wives, and women in general.

Are men injured? Of course they are. What human being is not injured? Unfortunately, though, although many find it easy to place the blame on men, few seem interested in helping these men to heal their wounds.

The point? We can not truly have loving relationships with anyone until we heal these injuries, toward men, toward women, and toward people in general.

This part of the emergence site focuses on the "men" part of this equation, exploring men and men's health in general. Our only purpose here is to help us all to find healthier ways to connect to the men in our lives with less judgment and with more love.
