\nDo you feel disconnected from your father, grandfather(s) … from Life?
\nDo you feel disconnected from your wild nature?
\nDo you yearn for a deeper connection \u2026 to yourself?
\n
\nI really enjoyed this conversation with Eivind Figenschau Skjellum of Norway.
\nHis company, Reclaim Your Inner Throne, a rich expression of men\u2019s work that, among other essential insights and practices, helps men reconnect \u2026 or even just connect for the first time for so many men, with the Mature Masculine archetypes \u2013 KING WARRIOR MAGICIAN LOVER \u2026 archetypes founded on Carl Jung\u2019s work and outlined beautifully in the timeless classic of that same name \u2013 K W M L \u2013 by Robert Moore and Douglass Gilette. The theory goes, that these archetypes are embedded in the DNA of all men, but like a software code not yet given the command to begin running the program, many men in the modern world live perpetually stuck in predominantly adolescent psychological structures, those archetypes locked away in a latent state beyond our grasping, largely due to a lack of thoughtful male elders who can initiate us into manhood, and also an abundance of distractions that appeal to the adolescent self-concerned mind. Because of this, we men risk living deeply unfulfilled, while women risk everything that comes with living in a world with few truly mature men.
\nReading that book many years actually changed my life \u2013 which I share a little bit about how it did that in this episode.
\nOne of the things I think I love most about Eivind, actually \u2026 is he\u2019s from Norway, the historic land of the Viking. I\u2019m obsessed with Viking culture and mythology.
\nIn fact, he\u2019s hosting an upcoming small men\u2019s retreat called \u201cKings of the North\u201d … in the wilds of Norway this summer, and I\u2019m going. I\u2019m actually leading one of the tribal clans in the retreat, and so if you\u2019d like to attend a men\u2019s retreat in Norway, and be a member of my 5-man clan \u2013 everyone gets a Viking Helmet and Battle Axe \u2013 go to bryanreeves.com/norway for more information \u2026 bryanreeves.com/norway.
