50: Sacred Sons with Adam Jackson

Kari and Tory are psyched to introduce today's guest - Adam Jackson. Adam is a dear friend, an incredible dad, a community leader, and a creative force. To thousands of men worldwide, he's a founding partner and the director of operations and voice of Sacred Sons, an organization dedicated to Masculine Alchemy and Embodiment. Sacred Sons utilizes the power of ceremony, ritual, and intentional spaces to deepen into authentic brotherhood and catalyze growth. Tory's partner Jetter has experienced Sacred Sons firsthand.  In this episode, Kari and Tory explore: What is a Sacred Son?  What's healthy masculinity? Where are we getting it wrong?  What do we have to gain in this world by realigning our masculine and feminine energies? How can women support their men in returning to healthy masculinity and embodiment? What would you say to a man or woman who's in partnership with a man - who is unwilling to do personal work? If you are raising a boy, in partnership with a man, or have men in your life you care about, this episode will provide practical advice. While Sacred Sons are focused on men, it's really about accountability. Authenticity. You are using relationships to be our greatest teacher. This episode can serve as the pattern interrupt to point you in the direction you know is best. It's time to get out of your head, stop intellectualizing, and move through this world powerfully.
