It is no secret that masculinity is currently in a deep crisis. Violence, war, and ecological collapse – most of the major problems facing humanity stem from a disoriented and out-of-control masculinity. Many young men are searching for a sacred masculinity that could bring about the necessary change. Yet our civilization continues to reward the excesses of male reptilian brains such as domination, exploitation, and aggression, while suppressing men's inherent quest for spirituality.
