Here is a brief description of the Charlie Kreiner workshop: BREAKTHROUGH 2005 At Breakthrough workshops, Charlie Kreiner offers powerful and effective healing tools. You will learn a common-sense model of a world without oppression, as well as get to practice practical, personal healing techniques. Breakthrough is an immersion experience in building and living humane alternatives to the male role. Men come away from these workshops with a sense of hope for the future and a set of tools for dealing with feelings of fear, loneliness, hopelessness, and despair. Through play, honest sharing, and active listening we will open up to our emotional selves, our connections with others and our greatest sense of what it means to be alive. In so doing, we will also work to be allies to each other's liberation struggles in building a diverse and just world. FACILITATOR: Charlie Kreiner is the founder and director of the Institute for Diversity Education in America (IDEA). For over 30 years, Charlie has been an independent educator, activist, consultant and counselor on human liberation/social oppression issues throughout the country and in much of the world.
