Today is my mom’s birthday.

My dad’s birthday was 5 days ago.

My birthday is 10 days from now.

Happy birthday, Mom and Dad. I love you so much. Forever and ever.

Why did I sit in 500 men’s circles, brother?

That’s the subject of today’s video.

If you really want to know, watch the video.

There is a lot I can convey through video that I cannot convey through writing.

If I were to concisely touch on many of the elements that drew me to men’s work and kept me returning hundreds of times over, I’d say:

* Leadership Training in Service of Children, Women, and All Beings

* Deep Healing

* Growth & Integrity

* Integration & Accountability

* Heart-Opening

* Grounding

* Humbling

* Service & Space-Holding

* Friendship & Brotherhood

* Shadow Work & Blindspot-Illumination

* Ceasing to Play the ‘Nice Guy’ and Leaning Into Your ‘Masculine Edge’

* Co-Discovering the Future of Mature Masculinity

* Physical Training & Holistic Well-Being

* Embodying Your King and the Archetypes of Mature Masculinity

* Finding and Living Your Calling

* Playfulness & Creativity

* Authenticity & Communication

* Sealing Energy Leaks

* Awakening & Deepening of Faith

* Sacred Relationships With Women, Children, And All People

This is why Council of Kings is powerful.

Brother, if you feel it…

If you know it…

If your soul is whispering it…

Join us.

Rise of Kings begins soon.

With Care and Respect,Jordan
