Burning Tyger: Men’s Initiation Series
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry.
This strikingly sensuous image of William Blake lies at the heart of the Burning Tyger course that explores a broader sense and deeper experience of masculinity.
A sensitive man, in his isolation and existential insecurity, realises his perspective can no longer support him; and opens to the possibility of renewal. Only through art and ritual can he be redeemed from suffering, nostalgia and boredom. In the shadows of instinctual nature, he awakens to the mystery, fear, and love of a creative force greater than himself. Freed from expectation, he becomes passionate, receptive, and present to life.
