Increased interest in Masculinity-Movies.com

It has been two exciting weeks since the launch on June 5. The site has received substantial exposure in this time. Thanks to Pelle Billing, it has been featured on the Stockholm Wilber group mailing list, as well as presented in Malmö’s integral salon.

Thanks also to Peter Kessels of Integral Europe,  who graciously profiled Masculinity Movies as the top story in the June newsletter. That day saw almost one hundred visitors to Masculinity-Movies.com, a record so far.

I must admit a certain level of geekiness in these two weeks. I have a hidden nerd in me and find it oddly satisfying to check Google Analytics every morning to see how many of you have been visiting. It’s not very manly, I know (addictions are the realm of the boy as you should know by now), but there you have it. I own up to my flaws  🙂

Closer to home, the Norwegian Integral group based in Oslo has also taken an interest in the topic. I visited them for the first time around two weeks ago, and had an interesting evening discussing how integral thinking could  influence Norwegian politics in the upcoming elections. I snuck in a little Masculinity Movies promotion at the end of the evening, and found a delightful interest in the topic.

I then proceeded to hang with these great people at an “integral party” the same weekend, and found myself with many people who were not only hungry for the subject, but who were also knowledgeable and experienced in applying it, in different ways.

It has been a rich time for me so far, and I look forward to seeing where things move from here.  Odd Inge Forsberg of the Oslo-based Integral group invited me to lecture on the subject in the fall, which is an exciting opportunity that I look forward to.

It seems that the world is ready for this material. This is good news!

Catch you all later,
