WHAT MEN DON'T KNOW
SEMINAR DATE: June 5, 1997
This is a one-day get together for men and women who are concerned about imbalance in society.
In this conference, we'll have plenty of time for presentations by invited experts, panel discussions, lunch, audience participation, and, in the end, in place of failure to communicate, we'll have an opportunity to celebrate!
The morning session, conducted by Reeve Love of Denver, centers on the re-examination of the cultural reasons for different views of the same situation by each sex. It is a fascinating revelation of how imbalance has been fostered in our society, in our homes, schools, courts, work places and in some churches.
With the help of Dr. Chris Green of San Antonio, singer songwriters Connie Kaldor(Canada), David Roth(Seattle), and songwriter-male nurse Stephan Foster(Albuquerque), we'll wind our way through this life-changing and sometimes humerous experience.
We'll take a break for a picnic lunch with vegetarian or beef hamburgers cooked Texas campfire style, with all the fixings, and a chance to meet each other and visit. Then, back into the conference.
The afternoon session until 5 p.m. is led by Amanda J. MacKay Smith of Durham, N.C., one of America's most in-demand professionals who has worked as a consultant in more than 40 states. Her positive approach builds solid partnership skills, teaching men and women to work together. With degrees from Radcliff, Harvard, and Columbia University, this remarkable woman would like to shift the goal from gender equality toward partnership.
Amanda will take us through two distinct sessions: "How Sex Bias Keeps Poor People Poor", examining how the dynamics of proving manhood or womanhood push disadvantaged young people into behavior which contributes directly to their continued poverty; and the second session, after the coffee break: "Men Are People, Too", the problems of being male in America today are sometimes overlooked, so we take a look together at the various responsibilities of being The Sole Provider, Superathelete, and a Knight in Shining Armor.
We'll check out emotional straightjackets, being cut off from children, having to limit close friendships, damage done to women men love and the confusion of living in a world where rules keep changing.
To relax together at the conclusion, we'll serve some snacks and Texas wines so everyone can visit casually.
Advance registrations encouraged so we may order sufficient food (let us know if you are a vegetarian), coffee and wine.
$15 per person prior to May 1 ($20 after May 1) ( In addition to the Thursday admission ticket price or $10 in advance or $12 at the gate, unless you already have a multi-day ticket which includes Thursday).
The 7-9 p.m. Sundown Concert by Michael Camp and Chip Taylor of Nashville is included along with single night camping privileges.
