Awakening the Wild Erotic: A Ritual Reclamation (April 24-26)

To brood is to wander through a grovewhere one sheep straysand a hundred wolves follow.

Why did I make brooding my vocationwhen AWE was an option?

Thought spinner, mull the wine of wonder.

Three years ago, my colleague Deus and I joined forces to craft an experiment.

We invited 12 men out to the forest.

He brought his years of training in breathwork, transformational art, and psychedelic facilitation.

I wove my love of archetypes, fairy tales, and the lineage of mythopoetics.

The result: a cauldron of mystery that we named AWE - Awakening the Wild Erotic.

Since that time, we’ve ran the 3 day weekend over 7 times, supporting over 90 men through the journey. Deus and I still have a difficult time describing what happens during these ritual gatherings.

What feels most true: it is the rite of passage that most men never received as we entered into our erotic birthright.

It is the beginning of coming into right relationship with sexual energy, responsibility, and self leadership.
