Sonia Byrne
Guest: Eamon Duffy
Opening Chat
We chat about the amazing relationships and connections that come from conventions and retreats. Sonia and Eamon originally met at a ministerial school retreat. Lezli first met our earlier guest Masando Hiraoka at a similar retreat. These relationships are so key to building strong ministries.
Sacred Masculinity
- Eamon Duffy is the director of The Mens Ministry, a natural outgrowth from 25 years of men's work and 25 years of Science of Mind. It's his way to pay it forward, supporting the community of New Thought and men.
- Asking what was his to do, his inner meditation voice said, "Duh, silly...this is what you know how to do!"
- Eamon has a new book, The Blessing Circle, which gives step-by-step instructions for starting and building a men's group. It gives specific activities and ideas about how to build trust and help men open up. It is designed to make the process easy.
- When creating a men's group, Eamon advises getting the minister involved. Their support is key.
- Try starting out with a low-key social gathering. Just start it with a pizza night or a social event after Sunday service. That's an easier entry point for some men.
- These circles are designed to be an ongoing program, to allow for the time to create connection and allow for healing, sharing and opening of the heart.
- What is the value of having a group of all men? There are biological, neurological and sociological differences. It can be easier for some people to build these skills in a more homogeneous group. Once the skills are there, it can absolutely also work in a more heterogeneous group.
- One of the biggest challenges is the Lone Wolf Syndrome, the societal idea that men need to be strong and self-sufficient, never needing help from anyone. It's an unhealthy belief, and groups like this help men break out of that box.
- 1 out of every 10 people say they don't have even one close friend. We need connection to move through life.
