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.

Garrett

Welcome back! I love this conversation.. It felt like talking to parts of myself. Garrett is the founder of Rocky Mountain Rites. Today we discuss how he got there and also how his context has shifted to taking a year off. We discuss 'the cost' of this work and who pays it.. We also get pretty deep into how awesome it is and what we get out of it. This conversation was a motivating force for this podcast. I'm grateful and excited to bring this project to life!
