This winter
Herman Ottosson has had lot of attention for his raw man-concept.
He has had
the courage to speak about polarities, from a masculine point of view, in a
society striving towards more equality.
He has been
questioned by media, by some feminists and had a lot of media coverage, and he
has evidently touched a need, a longing in many men, a longing to be more in
contact with the masculine within.
Even if it
may have felt to be in the middle of a gauntlet, it seems like Herman has gone
through all noise, as a winner, with hordes of men, wanting to learn more about
the raw man within.
And we are
proud to present Herman Ottosson as one of our spectacular workshop leaders at
The JoyRide Experience.
I can
imagine that there has been moment when Herman Ottosson felt chased by Swedish
media. And as I understand it, it was worth it. The media coverage made it
possible for Herman to tell the world about his vision of what the healthy
masculine could be in our society.
And then he
went away to Bali, offering his annual retreats with yoga, raw food, and
teaching, for both men and women. And as I write this he is slowly heading home
from New York, were he, according to his Facebook wall has been successful …
and I guess it’s about spreading the raw man concept to the big country in the
west.
Sweden is a
society characterized by - among other
things – the strive towards gender equality. We have had at least 40 years of
female liberation, creating better conditions for women.
And while a
lot has happened to women, there are men who have felt frustrated and confused
… because what is a man supposed to be, and how is he supposed to act these
days?
Herman
invites men to feel their masculine power, ha has the courage to speak about
polarities – the feminine and the masculine – in a society were he takes a risk
doing that, and were his message risk to be misunderstood as a plead to women
to step back into the kitchen.
As I interpret
Herman’s work it’s not about gender, it’s about the masculine and the feminine
aspects within us, and giving space to them.
And I have
met men, being very much in their feminine, and losing their masculine, soft
men, sometimes even regretting that they are born in a male body. And how
attractive is that?
For some
years now, entrepreneur Herman Ottosson has created the concept raw man, where
men meet in their masculinity, and heal wounds necessary to heal to stand in
their power. He creates men’s group were men meet as they are, share their
feelings and feel safe enough to show their vulnerability.
As Herman
says on the raw man web:
“Here you
get support, a community and tools to grow as a human being in an environment
which affirm your longing to challenges, the meaning of life, relaxing and
loosen up as a man among other men.”
At the
JoyRide Experience Herman will probably offer a raw man workshop, for all of
you longing to be in your masculine for a few hours.
“Life
filled with love, sex, and freedom to be you”.
