Challenge for you brother. 7 days to execute
Powerful statement I want you to start living by. Learn then do. Embodiment is about bringing thought into action. This one is simple. Might feel edgy. That’s the point. Step into your power here. You can do this. ✅Watch the video ✅Post what gets invoked ✅Comment on another man’s post once it’s posted. ✅Practice celebrating a man’s truth what ever it is.

Things on my mind: 1. as men how do we address our cycles and patterns both positive and negative especially in relationship to addiction - alcohol, porn, social media? 2. What does it really mean to be a safe man 3. how to gather and direct energy and resources effectively… 4. what to do with idle time… the spaces between obligations and commitments.

Haven’t read the new book yet… but did make time to listen to his first interview in a decade. There’s valuable insight here. What happens when we lose motivation? Is this a useful or normal stage? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c4LSX-R2nJo&ra=m
Initiation, Integration, Inspiration, Relationship... All of the above.
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.
