	Topic to be announced The Minnesota Men’s Conference was started by Robert Bly. This first conference, as well as all the ones following, has included the telling of old stories, the gift of poetry, the making of music together, and the opening of hearts to grief, which sometimes happens when men who trust each other gather together for a few days.  In the last few years we have begun to ask that men who have received some of the honey of old stories and soul teaching give some of the sweetness back to younger men.  So again this year we’ll be inviting a dozen or so young men between the ages of 13 and 20 to attend the conference.  If you would like to sponsor one of these young men, that would be even better.	The Teachers Robert Bly, an award winning author and extraordinary poet, will give several talks, and moderate discussions, in his unique and thought provoking ways. He will lead the evening of Sufi singing and poetry, and will read from his acclaimed new book of poems, "The Night Abraham Called to the Stars." He received the McKnight Distinquished Artist Award given by the McKnight Foundation in Minnesota a few years ago. Robert Moore will be returning this year with his immense knowledge and passion. Malidoma Somé Miguel Rivera, a musician and drummer, is a man who is in love with the language of sound. A regular teacher at this conference since 1993 it is always an honor to have Miguel teach drumming, read poetry, and assist Martín in leading rituals and reaching out to new particpants. Doug von Koss returns again this year to lead early morning chanting circles explore the sung and spoken Languages of the Heart from many world cultures and spiritual traditions.
