Miki

Welcome. This weeks guest is Miki Dedijer. Miki joins us from the Sweden where it's currently daylight all day! After multiple attempts to record, we landed on a beautiful conversation which shed additional light on our understanding of teenage Rites of Passage from the whole family perspective. In addition I'll be hosting a free webinar with Miki at 5pm Eastern Australia Time 18th July. Come along for a deeper understanding of what Miki offers as a year long family Rite of Passage. website: mikidedijer.com [http://mikidedijer.com] alternative understanding of iron john: https://themythicmasculine.substack.com/p/61-an-animist-retelling-of-iron-john [https://themythicmasculine.substack.com/p/61-an-animist-retelling-of-iron-john] martin shaw substack mentioning iron john: https://martinshaw.substack.com/p/what-to-do-with-the-wild-man [https://martinshaw.substack.com/p/what-to-do-with-the-wild-man]

Garry

Welcome! This weeks guest is Garry Thomson. Garry was a COO of the Pathways foundation, building and delivering their facilitator training programs. He is an educator, an artist and a loving father. I've decided that this guy is about as congruent as it gets.. Garry was also the founder of Uplifting Australia, now an online resource that helps 1500 families per week to communicate, connect and understand each other better.

Lustig

Welcome! Our guest today is Pete Lustig. Pete is a lawyer who has been around mens work for quite a while. I first met him in the Mankind Project. He was also involved in Pathways for 7 years. Pete has just returned from a 12 month sailing race on a 70ft yacht, circumnavigating the globe.. I tried to be clever here track Pete's adventure through the principals of the hero's journey. Hmm 🤨 What came out of it was some beautiful relational tales of ex wife's, siblings and trauma healing.. Oh we did get to a few sailing yarns too. Below are a few links.. Find Penguins will get you to Pete's blog and there's a link to MKP if you want to check out an amazing, deep and life changing adult Rite of Passage experience.
