Brotherhood is the Medicine & Connection is the cure

As the latest layers of woundings between men and woman express themselves throughout the field of social media, I’ve found myself reflecting on my journey through mens work.

One of the primary reasons I got into mens work, was that I saw it as a space where I could begin to peel back the layers of wounds and conditioning that were preventing me from cultivating greater sovereignty and harmony in my life.

This last week has really shown me that there is still so much pain and fear playing out between men and woman.
This says to me, that we still need safe and effective places where we can step in, and do the work, not only by ourselves, but with one another as well.

Over the many years of facilitation and participation throughout these spaces, I have noticed that when a group of men come together through a shared intention to not only heal themselves, but also to help sharpen each others swords, true magick will often pursue.

Just two months ago I flew over to America, where I attended a deep dive Masculine leadership Training with the Sacred Sons in the snowy mountains of Utah, and then flew back home to Aus where I jumped in to support a 4 day men’s retreat with 100 brothers ready to dive into the fires of transformation.

What I really loved about these recent trainings and immersions, was the core value and focus of building brotherhood and culture.

“Brotherhood is the medicine, and connection is the cure”

“Man sharpens man”

“The age of the lone wolf is over”

These retreats weren’t just a place for refining and deepening our own masculine leadership, or a place to learn how to show up in healthier ways as men.
Don’t get me wrong, a large part of them were, but along side of this, there was an example of healthy brotherhood and reflections of how this was going to impact our lives, missions and communities at large.

It was an invitation into actively being apart of an emerging movement and culture of greater connection and synergy between ourselves, each other and our loved ones around us.

As someone who has experienced a vast array of different shadows throughout brotherhood; from competition and betrayal, to lack of integrity, reliability and accountability.

This deepened piece of actively coming together in service to each others mutual healing and growth, felt like it’s going to not only benefit my own personal journey, but also the collective field of healing for men, and the families and relationships they’re connected to.

In moving forward, my hope and prayer, is that we can continue to cultivate these spaces, relationships and networks, so that our inner work can become both easier and more available.
And from here, not only continue to heal together, but also begin to build a better world together as well.

Because at the end of the day, healing isn’t the end goal, it’s what needs to be done first and for most, so that we can then begin to step into greater service and the co creation of a world that reflects what we all truely desire; which is for me, healthy loving connection, and a joyous, adventurous and creative life shared with loved ones.

“Together we stand, divided we fall”
