Resonant World #180
Hello everyone,
I deeply appreciated the opportunity to be in dialogue with Sean Talbeaux and Jacob Kishere on the issues raised by Inside the Manosphere, and we’re very grateful to all those who tuned in to join us live.
In the spirit of the Resonant Dialogue practice we’re developing in the Resonant Man, we approached our exploration without much of a preconceived idea of what we were going to say. I work closely with Jacob as a co-facilitator of the Resonant Man, but I’m newer to Sean’s work leading men’s circles — and I loved how richly the compassion and integrity he brings to this work infused our conversation.
We explored what it might look like to build the kind of “healing architecture” needed to respond to the collective, inter-generational and individual trauma layers at the root of the crises affecting so many men and boys — and address the impact of the misogyny and other forms of hatred spread by influencers.
I’m not going to try and summarise all that came through, but I’ll add that we didn’t approach this topic with the intention of reaching some kind of final conclusion or “answer.” Rather, we wanted to explore what new perspectives the film and the discussion it’s sparked might bring to questions we’ve been walking for a long time already, and will continue to walk.
We welcome any resonance in the comments. I’m also keen to hear about elements that anyone feels we could have included, but didn’t, or where we may have revealed our blind spots. We’re committed to listen and learn as we do what we can to contribute to addressing the collective wounds the documentary laid so bare — and we’ll no doubt be revisiting all these themes in future conversations.
Thank you for listening!
