The Fifth Direction has created a campaign with the Minnesota Men’s Conference aiming to fund the archiving and eventual publishing of unreleased recordings by Robert Bly and other renowned teachers from past conferences.

The Fifth Direction is a welcome community for everyone. This includes people of all genders, faiths, backgrounds, orientations, ages and abilities.

We acknowledge the traditional stewards of the unceded land upon which we live, the people of the Bundjalung Nation. We recognise them as the original storytellers of this region and pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
