10. Masculine Archetypes - with Amir Khalighi

   Masculine archetype teacher Amir joins me to discuss initiation, boys needing men, nature, men and power, polarity, David Deida, the king being of service, the lover archetype, the magician, purpose, COVID manliness, men on Zoom, and some good recommendations. A great one for the guys (and women too, actually).   Learn more about Amir here: https://embodiedmasculine.com/  -----------------------------------------------------------------    Born in Tehran, Iran, and raised by a single mother, his perspective of life during his early years was observed through the prism of the feminine, with no mature masculine figure to learn from, nor lean on until his early 20s. His natural inclination for separation from that dynamic was a destructive one from the age of 19 to 22. At 23, he found his first men's group, where elders exemplified what it meant to be a mature masculine in the world.    His journey into self-actualization started during his college years with studies in the fields of existential philosophy and comparative religious studies. His work with men started at the age of 23. Through his 20s and 30s, he worked with hundreds of men centered around addictive behaviors and also through the discipline of martial arts. Subsequently, his work has matured and now encompasses Jungian archetypal, somatic healing, Shamanism, and embodiment methodology.    Amir is a teacher, coach, speaker, artist, and poet. He is married to the love of his life, Keri, and is the father to two daughters and two love-daughters (stepdaughters). ------------------------------------------------------------------     Get a free copy of Mark's latest eBook at this link: https://bit.ly/Top12Embodiment      Subscribe to Mark's new Feral Philosophy You Tube channel here: https://youtube.com/@feralphilosophy_mw?si=PHJcNwK4GYpRSflK    Join Mark for in-person workshops – https://embodimentunlimited.com/events-calendar/?utm_source=TEP&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=Events    Join free coaching demos sessions with Mark – https://embodimentunlimited.com/free-coaching-with-mark/?utm_source=TEP&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=Demo    Find Mark Walsh on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/warkmalsh/
