In 1990, Robert Bly’s book Iron John: A Book About Men ignited a generation of men towards what would become known as the mythopoetic men’s movement. Suddenly, men (at least in Western culture) had a map to their inner landscape and their outer experience. The exploration of a German fairy tale, alongside poetry and ritual, offered a pathway into the realm of soul work – and the book has continued to touched millions of men around the world.

In 2022, the spiral has come around as a new generation discovers Iron John alongside an urgent crisis of masculinity. What might Iron John offer in the era of COVID, the #metoo movement, AI, post-truth, multi-generational trauma, and biospheric breakdown

Join Ian MacKenzie, host of The Mythic Masculine podcast, for this six part online exploration to discover once again the mythic ground of possibility amidst the peril.

Each week, Ian will be joined by a number of Special Guests including Stephen Jenkinson, Stefanos Sifandos, Michael Gay, and more.
