Join me in ongoing men's gatherings, where we explore themes and dive into topics that are especially important to men, with other men... where you can ask me anything about these topics, and beyond.
Ask Kimmelman Anything - the details:
We gather twice a month (via Zoom).
Each theme we explore will be examined in depth over 4 "gatherings" (twice a month for two months). At each gathering, we'll focus on a different topic of that theme.
At the beginning of each gathering, I'll give a short reflection on the topic.
Then you'll get to ask me questions about the topic.
The gatherings are scheduled to be 90-minutes. Depending on the number of men and number of questions, I'll stay on for up to two hours.
Once everyone has had a chance to ask their question, if there's time remaining, then you can ask me anything about anything. Some of the most profound conversations often happen as we're reflecting on the bigger topic.
All the gatherings will be recorded so if you miss one you can watch or listen to it at another time.
Announcing the first theme:
The theme for the opening two months is The Female Shadow!
There's a lot to say about the "female shadow" but let me briefly share with you these few thoughts:
- Our shadow is often described as parts of ourselves that we deny, repress, push away, think are unlovable, are ashamed of, or are unaware of.
- Shadow behaviors are counterproductive. They can be manipulative, combative, defensive, critical, jealous, demeaning, controlling – to name a few.
- As men and women, we have both masculine and feminine aspects and qualities.
- The "female shadow" is how that shadow shows up in women and the harmful behaviors and traits that it expresses.
- The thing I've noticed in our society, is that a lot is spoken about men's shadow behavior. It is well documented and well known. Yes?
- BUT, interestingly, women's shadow behavior is not as well understood or discussed. This, in my view, is a consequential problem.
There are two key aspects of the Female Shadow:
First, it's often elusive, not easily identified, hard to put your finger on exactly what it's doing, what's going on, or how it's manipulating the situation.
Second, it will strike out at you (in many different ways) if you try to point out that it exists and what it's doing.
