\nDid you long ago bury your creative spirit so you could fit in?
\nDid you long ago stop writing poetry or songs, or painting, or drawing or whatever because it wouldn\u2019t make you money?
\nDo you ever use drugs, alcohol, porn, to bring your body alive, but in ways that you know don\u2019t serve you?
\n
\nWell, in this episode, my guest, Aryeh-Or and I mine these questions and more for useful insights to make a meaningful difference in your life.
\nAryeh-Or is a deeply wise and beautiful man. \u2026 Aryeh \u2013 whose full name means Lion of Light \u2013 is also one of my brothers in the men\u2019s group I\u2019ve been intimately a part of these last 4 years. He\u2019s a man I wouldn\u2019t likely otherwise have had the opportunity to experience and go deep with, even do conflict with in healthy, respectful ways, were it not for the container of our men\u2019s group.\xa0
\nAryeh is an artist and an activist \u2026 he is so many creative things \u2026\xa0
\nAnd today our conversation flows and meanders through a landscape of interesting topics, we talk about creativity, how it gets choked out of us men at a young age, and why we men need to regularly be in the practice of creativity, and the stiffness that often sets into men\u2019s bodies when we cut off our creativity. we also talk about the thoughtful and intentional use of substances, like psychedelic mushrooms and ayahuasca, even alcohol, for tapping into the wells of creativity, we talk about all that and more \u2026\xa0
\nAnd at the end, Aryeh shares his profound and powerful spoken word poem called, Dare to Dream, which you\u2019re gonna want to listen to over and again.
\nSo definitely stay tuned all the way through to the end of this episode of Men, This Way \u2026
\nBut before we dive in \u2026\xa0
\nI want you to know that I have only 2 spots remaining for my ELEVATE 2023 year-long coaching adventure for men.
