The Peaceful Power of the Initiated Man ft Simon Sanud

Most men's work leans on the warrior and the king. Simon Sanud asks: what if those archetypes were never free to begin with? Simon is the author of The Peaceful Power of the Initiated Man and the creator of Soul Bath, a healing methodology drawing from animism, core shamanism, and tantra. In this conversation, we get into: Why Simon didn't feel like he'd "arrived" in his masculinity until his 50s The shadow side of the lover archetype, and what it means to stop performing in relationships How Soul Bath works — calling up and healing a fragmented "soul part" through daily practice Core shamanism 101: the lower, middle, and upper worlds, and what a power animal actually is Why Simon's shamanic journeys don't involve psychedelics, and how that's different from ayahuasca or DMT work The archaeological case that hierarchy and patriarchy are relatively recent — and what existed before them Why the King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover archetypes may all be tangled up in enslaved, hierarchical energy How this connects to what Travis sees in horse herds — cooperation and hierarchy existing side by side Sovereignty over surrender: why becoming your own authority matters more than achieving enlightenment Sign up for Simon's Free Live Masterclass which explores the energetic layer underneath recurring patterns: https://travers03--simonsanud.thrivec...
