Men’s work Facilitator Eivind joins me to discuss masculinity. We go over his experience of realising that he couldn’t meditate out of manliness, rites of passage and the phallic intrusion, the call and the heroes journey, the initiated man, feminised culture, entrepreneur as adventurer, Jungian archetypes, integrity vs tyrant integrity and free flow, balancing warrior and lover, and king and magician, the “master key”, the power of stories, blessings of the king, shifting between archetypes with the body, gender in Scandinavia, feminism and postmodernism, the domesticated male, manliness and dangerous, what mature women are like, the gender wars, Reclaim Your Inner Throne and trusting the body.
