2 · Integration — Stretches and accountability This is where the work meets your daily life. Where you take what landed in a teaching, a call, or a conversation and put it into practice. Where you ask brothers to hold you to something you said you'd do. What belongs here: - A stretch you're taking on this week - Accountability commitments — "I'll do this. Hold me to it." - The honest report-back on how it went - "I tried it — here's what happened in my body." - A request for the brothers' eyes on a pattern you're working with - Request for support or a check in - Asking for advice or perspective Practice is private. Integration is shared. **No unsolicited advice please. Consent before sharing. We are here to empower each other to ask for what is needed or check in before sharing what we perceive.

Hey fellas! If we’re getting vulnerable here, i’m going all in Brothers. I wasn't sure which category to post this under so i'm posting under general discussion, hope that's ok Mike. Apologies if I was a bit cryptic with my share during the call, I was wanting to honour the container/time. That was also day 5 of a fast, 20 km’s of hiking and the morning after a corker of a medicine journey. And I don’t share any of this to make myself sound grandiose, or to pedestal myself in any way. I share it to help illuminate the depth and potency of the prayer that I went into my quest with to help me root out & overcome a lifelong affliction i’ve battled, that I will lay out in my story that is to follow. I didn’t need to hop on the call and many may have advised against given where I was at, but for me, it felt synchronistic and aligned and i’m happy I did. Yesterday I arrived back from a solo spirit quest up Okanagan Mountain and it was the most profound experience of my life. I left tidal waves of grief, sorrow and despair on that mountain. It feels vital to share my story with you, as a way to help integrate the experience and also because I know there's powerful medicine in it. I'll start with a bit about my childhood. I grew up in a really religious family with staunch Christian values. As I got older, I rejected it because I could sense all the distortion, the dogma, the fear narrative, the top down model but I could sense the thread of Truth at its foundation. In elementary school I got bullied, beat up and abused in various ways because I was a bright light, I was joyful and exuberant. I won't go into the specifics of the traumas here, not because i'm not open to share but because I want to keep this as concise as possible. In summary though I developed coping patterns, specifically self abandonment through self silencing. In Grade 9 I turned to cannabis as a way to dissociate and numb the pain I felt deep down for these wounds. This exacerbated things as I got labeled as a stoner and it begun a downward spiral of self collapse through self conscious negative though patterns, lack of confidence, inadequacy, social anxiety etc. I got made fun of for most of high school for how I talked, slow and monotonous, “stoner”, “ perma-fried”, “eeore”… I was also what others might label a “cool kid” due to the group I hung with, but that wasn’t really how I felt under all the numbness. There was deep shame and loneliness.

Health — Your relationship to your body This is where you meet your body honestly.
