It was great to hear and share the heartfelt experiences of Men in such an open and present way as we did last night. It's good to see that Men can arrive at the venue and leave their 'Masks' outside.
And I'm sure if you passed by the Taranaki Disability Information Centre in New Plymouth this morning you might have seen some of those discarded Masks still there... forgotten and never to be worn again.

Okay, so I'm not talking about real Masks - these discarded masks are the symbolic ones that Men wear as discussed in the previous two posts on this Blog site:
MEN AND THE MASKS THEY WEAR and THE MASKED MAN.

The point is that the Men who come and share their experiences at the group are creating a space for themselves to achieve incredible growth potential as they begin their own personal journeys towards self-discovery and authenticity.
