Men's weekend

Responsibility

Saying «this is mine» — and holding a room for other men.

About the weekend

Taking responsibility and still letting others carry theirs. Friday by the fire is about the king in you: order, blessing, making something grow that reaches beyond yourself — and the two shadows, the tyrant who takes, and the weakling who withdraws.

On Saturday you learn to hold a room: open, keep time, close, stop. And then we hand it over — two of you open and close the fire in the evening, while we sit in the circle like everyone else. Sunday is about your own small kingdom: what is yours at home, and what you have pushed away.

The hands

You plan and lead the work day yourselves. On Friday evening you choose a project and a man to lead it, and we work under him on Saturday.

Saturday evening

On Saturday evening each man who wants to tells of a conflict he is in right now — in two minutes, in sentences that begin with I, and with his own part in it.

The question to take home

What is mine?

Before you come

What have you pushed away for a year that is yours?

How the weekend lies

Friday

You arrive between 2 and 4 pm and get a room. At 5 we sit in a circle, and at 9 we open the theme by the fire. Sauna for those who want it.

Saturday

Up at 7. A talk, then work until 2 pm. Two hours where you write, in silence. A walk to the sea, two by two. Dinner, and at 8 the evening's room.

Sunday

A silent walk, a short circle, and then we read out what you wrote on Saturday — anonymously, if you wish. A last talk, and at 4 the ferry leaves.

First time here?

This weekend is best once you have been here before — start with The good argument, for instance.
