Hi, I'm Nick Duffell, one of the conveniers of the 2013 International symposium for men
I want to tell you a little bit about what I'm presenting there
and just give you taste of things
so one of the things that I'm really interested in with men is how we're dealing with our vulnerability.
One of the main problems seems to me
is that we're often afraid of our own vulnerability
- we're afraid of something inside of us
and
reimpedes us expressing our selves in a full an open hearted and good way.
If we're really scared we can become violent actually..
so I'm interested in how do we stop being afraid of our own vulnerability
how do we become
comfortable being more vulnerable, because
actually, in the end that makes us in fact more
powerful. How do we come to terms with that
thing inside of us some people
call it our inner woman but it's not a feminine thing at all.
At the symposium there will be lots of other guys presenting their work with men, very different to mine
A lot of people very pragmatic, very hands-on.
So we want to invite you to come
experiences to share what you've been doing with men in this work
to meet these guys who has been doing it for years,
to hang about to see what happens between us
to gain some kind of solidarity in directions for the future.
Please come join us. We look forward to meeting you there
wherethere it's your first time, wherethere your'e an old hand
at the International Symposium for Men. Thank you!
