    Announcing The Art of Being a Man (Starts 16th Jan) with Cadell Last

    Cadell Last and Owen Cox are launching a new project in January in collaboration with Maniphesto, called The Art of Being a Man.    https://maniphestocore.com/art-of-being-a-man/  We have both been doing men's work together for some time, as well as exploring questions of contemporary culture and masculinity on our YouTube channels and in other creative work (for instance, Cadell's book Sex, Masculinity, God, coauthored with Daniel Dick and Kevin Orosz).  We wanted to create a type of men's work that expresses our shared interest in existential questions, continental philosophy, and Freudian psychoanalysis (and Heavy Metal and Hip Hop music). The idea with the Art of Being a Man was to create a series of workshops to explore elements of the psyche that are often overlooked, ignored, repressed or experienced as "problems to solve". Our intention is to lead a group of men in spending time with these parts of our selves, exploring what they mean, what we can learn from them, how we can draw inspiration and strength from them - in short, to see if we can live more artfully with all parts of our selves, and sublimate the forces that move through us for expression in our creative work.    The topics we will cover in our workshops will be:  Pleasure and Infantile Drives (Kill, Eat, Fuck)  Adult Eroticism and Sexuality  Melancholy and Depression  Power  Death   Love and Community  Creativity and Art   The idea is that we begin with the early beginnings of the psyche, the drives that we are created with, and slowly move through to our own ability to express ourselves and influence the world around us.  In addition to the core workshops, there will be a facilitated community platform, optional "homework" exercises and prompts for those who want to go deeper into the material, and optional extra community calls or 1on1 support.  The course will begin on Sunday 16th January and run on alternative Sundays through to 8th May. Each workshop will last 5 hours, with an hour break in the middle. They will start at 4pm CET, 3pm GMT, 10am EST.  If you're interested, check out the links below,. You can sign up by following the Maniphesto link. And if you have any questions, get in touch with Owen or Cadell!    https://maniphestocore.com/art-of-being-a-man/ Outline: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/615abdea83700f2629ae1cf5/t/61a4d28d61b9581da57afab7/1638191777678/Art+of+Being+a+Man+outline.pdf
