Do You Consider Yourself an 'Enlightened' Man? -- A Call for Submissions

—

“It isn’t by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”
― Ken Kesey

One of the things I love most about The Good Men Project is our commitment to having “The conversation no one else is having”. When we first launched in 2009, the press declared that “The Good Men Project is a glimpse of what enlightened masculinity might look like in the 21st century.”

Tell us what you think “enlightened masculinity” means. Do you consider yourself to be enlightened? Or do you prefer another term—like awake, conscious, or mindful? And what does being an enlightened man look like on a day-to-day basis in your world? How do you put that into practice every day?

The Good Men Project is different from most media companies. We are a “participatory media company”—which means we don’t just have content you read and share and comment on but it means we have multiple ways you can actively be a part of the conversation. As you become a deeper part of the conversation—The Conversation No One Else is Having (TM)—you will learn all of the ways we support our Writers’ Community—community FB groups, weekly conference calls, classes in writing, editing platform building and How to Create Social Change.
