What is masculinity? How can we all understand that the definition is not the same from one person to the next? Hear Owen's story of realizing the answers to these questions himself. Owen Karcher, MA, LPC, is an art therapist and social justice consultant with the Center for Community Healing, LLC (www.arttherapymadison.com). He works with the individual and collective healing of trauma and oppression through embodied, creative expression. Owen facilitates group processes that invite participants to learn how power, privilege, and identities impact their relationships and work. He has over ten years of experience working as a care provider and educator in the fields of mental health, violence prevention and intervention, child sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS, building healthy relationships, and moving towards social justice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
