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
