Green Man Brotherhood
Our remote ancestors said to Mother Earth:
‘We are yours’
Modern humanity has said to nature:
‘You are mine’
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the Universe:
‘We are One’
- Exerpt from “Green Man: The Archetype of Our Oneness with the Earth” by William Anderson
Coming in February: A Men’s Winter Gathering

Some consistent themes include:
Symbols of rebirth, rejuvenation and the cycle of life and death.
