Community, tradition, and rites of passage are vital to Manhood, and our guest Chief Phillip Scott is highly qualified in this arena. As a leader in indigenous and ceremonial circles, he provides us with timeless wisdom for our awakening process. We cover topics such as how to heal emasculation wounds, why we should seek guidance from our elders, and what we can do to support the masculine movement.
