Our Men's 'Line in the Sand' workshops:
Our 'Line in the Sand' workshops are for men at risk of, or currently engaged in, actions or behaviours that negatively impact on them or other people in their lives. We work directly with men to engage, encourage and support you to explore and work with your attitudes, beliefs, emotions and behaviours in and around your past, present and even future relationships.
This 'Line in the Sand' work is for ALL MEN who need some support in the prevention and elimination of the conflict or violence in their life. This is about men taking some positive action and responsibility for their attitudes, beliefs, emotions, actions and behaviours. It is not always about making big changes, even learning to change small, often subtle things can, and do, make a substantial difference. The point is, something has to change and the only one that can really make that change is the man crossing over his 'Line in the Sand'. This is why we do not dictate the terms. We facilitate a process where men can explore what it is that needs to be changed and then make that decision themselves. Of course, we help the men to get to this point, but ultimately, it is each man deciding his own course of action to make some positive changes in his relationships and life.
In these safe and professionally facilitated ‘Line in the Sand’ workshops, men get to see and experience the power of this self-reflective process. It brings a greater understanding of their own relationship dynamics and gives each man a more skillful, communicative, harmonious and rewarding relationship.
Here is what Rob Clark from 'Say Yes to Family Peace' has to say about his experience in a workshop:
I highly recommend the work of Adrian Hanks and the Blue Wren Foundation. This was a very professional weekend workshop holding a strong, compassionate, nurturing and challenging space for men to get clear about who they are within them selves and with in their relationships. For me, I gained a clearer understanding of the ways my relating style does not serve me or my relationship as well as how my strengths and gifts do make me good man growing better all the time. There is not a hint of blame or shame and I did not feel for one moment any negative judgement about who we are as men even though we were all guided to dive deep to tap into our inner world.
I honour and thank the facilitators Adrian Hanks and Barry Auchettl, brilliant work good men, simply brilliant.The work of the Blue Wren Foundation makes a real difference in the world of men, no matter what their story, age or status.
I, on behalf of the 'Say Yes to Family Peace' Initiative, wholeheartedly recommend the work of the Blue Wren Foundation, may it continue to grow and prosper in bringing this powerful, transformational work of men.
