This keynote explores the modern masculine crisis through the lens of hormones, spirituality, grief work, brotherhood, and the relationship between men and women. Blending personal story, embodied wisdom, and cultural insight, this talk invites men into a more grounded, emotionally responsible, spiritually connected form of masculinity - one that no longer extracts from the feminine, but is strong enough to truly hold it.
