Resources For The Journey

Home Resources For The Journey

I don’t want to be the only one here
Telling all the secrets–

Filling up all the bowls at this party,
Taking all the laughs.

I would like you
To start putting things on the table
That can also feed the soul
The way I do.

That way
we can invite

A hell of a lot more
Friends!

                            -Hafiz

Hafiz would be happy to know his wish has been fulfilled.  We are standing on the shoulders of many many before us…  Men and women who know the terrain that lies beyond the borders, who have taken the road not taken.  They are guides whose work connects and meets us wherever we are on the path.  Some are from ages gone by, some are still alive…to all of them we are grateful.  Here is a selection of work you might find would serve you on your journey…it has certainly helped us on ours.

We’re always adding to the list below…notice something missing?  Let us know

Growing Up Men:

An Interview with Richard Rohr (On Being)

Men of all ages say Richard Rohr has given them a new way into spiritual depth and religious thought — through his writing and retreats. This conversation with the Franciscan spiritual teacher delves into the expansive scope of his ideas: male formation and what he calls “father hunger”; why contemplation is as magnetic to people now, including millennials, as it’s ever been; and how to set about taking the first half of life — the drive to “successful survival” — all the way to meaning.
