Energizing Compassion: The Action of the Divine Masculine (Online Course)

Live Online + unlimited access to course recordings
A six-week course, Wednesdays, 5:30–7:00 pm ET



The energy of the divine masculine is ancient, primordial, and present in all beings, no matter our biological sex or gender identification. This energy, in its pure forms, manifests in a variety of ways, including confidence, protective impulses, skillful actions, compassionate care, and peaceful, rational engagement with the world around us.

These days, we are keenly aware of the dire consequences when masculine energy becomes unbalanced, warped, distorted, and overblown, leading to patriarchal societies whose shadow manifestations have wreaked havoc on the living world, on relationships of all kinds, on cultural, religious, and social practices, as well as on the sustenance of communities of care and love.

How do we reclaim and reawaken the Divine Masculine? How do we remember and honor the power of this energy within ourselves, reconnecting to its capacity to fuel our actions in the world with compassion, strength, and generosity? Can reactivating the energy of the divine masculine serve as a corrective for what is often termed “toxic masculinity”?

In this six-week course, we will call upon the energies of the Divine masculine as these are expressed in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in order to harness these powerful forces of compassion and skillful means and to reclaim this essential dimension of our living expression in the world.
