By attending not one, but two of my in-person events Graham felt the incredible power of manhood, a group of men bonded to the core of their existence. He was accepted and seen fully for who is he without judgment, without bias, and this has given him tremendous hope for the future. He now has a deep connection with a group of men he can call his spiritual family.
Here is a short poem that Graham wrote at the end one of my in-person retreats: –
MEN came from the north
MEN came from the south
MEN came from the East and the West
MEN Determined to face their emotional challenges
MEN of great courage who give it their best
MEN of strength who searched for direction, spirits rise and answer their call
The magician waved his wand and like magic, 24 men appeared in a circle
Now I’ve listened to all of your stories, of adversity, sadness, pain, joy and celebration
And we all survived and have all now arrived, out of the storm to start over again
Now I’m sat here in total amazement, at all you amazing determined young men and it’s an honour to be sat here among you, giving my best while I’m helping mi sen
Now a few days have passed and I’m settled at last
And I see the group are now helping each other
So just go with the flow, let all the hurt go, as you find all the love that will help you recover
Relax and enjoy your new positive intentions. Embrace the love of your newfound friends
Stand up and sing as you honour your king, be at peace, for his love never ends
Now feel your inner strength and fly like the buzzard, who rises high, surveys and sees all
And once you’re up there the real magic happens, as you realise you never can fall
Graham.
