Jeddy Azuma has been deeply involved with men's work in California for over a decade. He is the founder of the Rising Man Movement - @risingmanmovement on Instagram- and his mission is to create a generation of initiated men.Jeddy is deeply passionate about helping men find themselves, find their way, and find each other - using nature, ritual, and connection circles. On this episode we discuss: Initiation in to manhood, for men. Call The Warrior - Jeddy's Haka workshop led by Leon Ruri. The definition of Haka. Why men are afraid to express themselves. "Toxic Masculinity" and the difference between men and masculinity. The core difference between The Boy and The Man. The Initiation Ceremonies Jeddy takes men through. The power of fasting in creating an altered state of consciousness. The initiation process: a circle of support to examine what's so in your life, a declaration of where you can serve your community, and a community to receive you on the other side. Spiritual tourism and the need to carry all medicines with a connection to their lineage. Initiation weekends for young men in California - YMUW and The Legacy Weekend. Fatherlessness and the missing piece for young men. Whose job it is to initiate young men. Safety For Women - One of Jeddy's Passions. The key to the world's problems: Freedom for men to express, and safety for women. A man's eternal task of helping the women in his life feel safe.  You can find Jeddy's podcast on The Rising Man Podcast.Instagram - @JeddyAzuma and @RisingManMovementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
