Chasing the Black Horse Indoor Seminar
Description
$120 (includes drinks and light snacks)
This afternoon seminar marks the debut of key insights that will change your perspective on the history of civilization, organized violence, and authoritarian impulses. The presentation will include experiential activities and tools that not only offer hope for the future, but also introduce practical ways to change the tide. Previous experience with, or even interest in, horses is not necessary to benefit from this life-enhancing perspective.
You will learn:
Why the same destructive patterns repeat themselves and always lead to the collapse of complex societies, leaving the toxic by-products of trauma in their wake
How to recognize the three ingredients that lead to oppressive regimes
Why the development of this persistent yet unsustainable system is escalating in the modern world
Why the primal fear men experienced at the dawn of animal domestication gave rise to the most destructive aspects of patriarchy
How this fear emerged when humans learned to control the breeding of large herbivores
How this long-hidden fear continues to inspire the rampant projection, lies, and abuse of both men and women in male dominated cultures and religions
Why widespread understanding of this primal fear is essential to productive cultural change
How early humans employed counter-dominance strategies to rein in aggressive individuals and groups
How associations with diverse cultures insured human survival during the Ice Age
Why egalitarianism was a choice that our distant ancestors actively and repeatedly made
How human physiology reflects our egalitarian roots
How scientific evidence shows that there was a collapse in male genetic diversity between 8000 and 4000 years ago, coinciding with the intensification of agriculture and hierarchical social structures
How the vast majority of men are disempowered and exploited in conquest-oriented civilizations
Why the counter-dominance techniques used by early cultures eventually contributed to the rise of aggressive leaders, and why many of these same strategies in use today are ineffective
What new, in many cases counter-intuitive, techniques must be employed to ensure that men and women experience safety, fulfillment, mutual respect, and cooperation in life
Why it’s significant—and accurate—that the ancestral princess changed into a black horse in Jung’s client’s mythic dream (rather than changing into a woman or some other animal) (see the newsletter link below)
How these “new” transformational strategies are based on the “lost keys of paradise” that horses model and inspire in us
