Being authentic or as I often like to refer to it .. being real, is simultaneously perhaps the most significant, powerful, scary, transformative, hardest “choice” any human being can make, and it holds particular significance for men since male (archetype) is by nature more involved in the outer world than female (for whom love and loving are the essence).
Being real is also potentially damaging, confusing, utterly impossible “choices” a man can make, for example – real to what? What happens when your realness does not align with those you meet in society or those close to you.
I suggest that the lack of ‘realness’ can be seen as the biggest underlying cause of the worlds ills – but there is of course a danger in even saying that – Secret Garden is emphatically not on a mission to change the world.
Those that have worked with me in the past – you know (something of) what to expect. Those that have not – we need you too!
I get that is it scary to try something new – or that you don’t have the time – this really means you don’t think you would enjoy it or that it would not be worthwhile in it’s effect on your life.
You cannot know. It is a ‘gamble’. All you can do is some combination of weighing up the facts, information including testimonials, cost etc (head) and/or sit quietly, look inside and ask yourself what matters most to you and if you are drawn to this weekend to ‘advance’ that.
