The Fifth Direction philosophy is firmly underwritten by the active presence of true elderhood. We are joined each fortnight by Tim Young and Walton Stanley, the current convenors of the Minnesota Men's Conference, founded in 1984 by Robert Bly.

In this sacred circle for men, we continue to learn through the passing of wisdom and the telling of old stories, poetry, myth and song.

Hosted by Kristina Dryža, this is a monthly space for women to go as deep or as light into the mythic realm as we wish. Whether it’s a specific myth to explore – or maybe a mysterious calling from the archetypal world which has been too ephemeral to name. Perhaps it’s a poem, a symbol, a dream or an imagination that wants to be shared and witnessed.

Join Wendy Haynes and Asher Packman as they offer a grief & celebration circle, and an opportunity to drink from a deeper well through poetry and storytelling.
