. . . play an important part in the framework of the work we do and the discoveries we make during the course of our annual Conference. In 2025, we were blessed to journey with two Master Storytellers: Hari Meyers and Garth Gilchrist, whose deeply grounded tales of ancient wisdom, strife and wonder sparked insights and growth. Below are the stories from the 2025 Conference. NOTE: These stories are not for children, and Erysichthon does contain some graphic language.
Erysichthon
We are pleased to present here the first of the stories told that weekend, Master Storyteller Hari Meyer’s rendition of Chapter 8 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, “Erysichthon”, a cautionary tale of greed still worth heeding today, thousands of years after its original writing.
Iron John, Part One
The main story threading its way through the 2025 Conference weekend was “Iron John,” a deceptively deep exploration that catalyzed a lot of thought. Here is part one of that telling.
Iron John, Part Two
This is the second installment of the tale of Iron John, presented by Hari Meyers and Garth Gilchrist at the Redwood Men’s Center Annual Conference in 2025.
Iron John, Part Three
And finally, here is the third and last installment of the story of Iron John, as presented by Hari Meyers and Garth Gilchrist.
