Mythopoetic men's movement

The mythopoetic men's movement refers to a loose collection of organizations active in men's work since the early 1980s, grew as a reaction to the second-wave feminist movement and aims to liberate men from the constraints of the modern world which keep them from being in touch with their true masculine nature. Sometimes mistakenly referred to simply as the men's movement, which is much broader, it is best known for the rituals that take place during their gatherings. While in the public eye in the early 1990s, the movement carries on more quietly in The ManKind Project and independent psychologico-spiritual practitioners. Mythopoets adopted a general style of psychological self-help inspired by the work of Robert Bly, Robert A. Johnson, Joseph Campbell, and other Jungian authors.
