S.1 E.4 Duncan Rich "Men's Spaces and Modern Masculinity"

from i want what SHE has · host Theresa Lyn Widmann and Jennifer Mulak

Today we are joined by Duncan Rich, a father, a husband, an artist, a facilitator of somatic men's work, and a co-founder of MELD, a men's wellness company. Duncan shares some personal background and what brought him to working with men and holding space for them. He provides insight into the importance of men's spaces and having male voices in wellness spaces. Together we explore some of the deeper questions and challenges men face today - how to reach men who have been culturally shaped to disconnect from their emotions, what the manosphere is and how it's being co-opted by a wounded masculine archetype, the challenges of defining masculinity, navigating aspirational masculinity, and reclaiming the Noble Father.  You can learn more about Duncan and the work of MELD here: https://meld.community/  We referred to the writing of Elayne Kalilia, https://elaynekalila.substack.com/p/what-happens-when-the-world-is-fatherless  Like, Subscribe!  Watch us on Youtube / @dancingwithwaterpodcast  Find us on Instagram / dancingwithwaterpodcast  Support us at Patreon / dancingwithwater  Find archive conversation from I want what SHE has https://iwantwhatshehas.org/  Learn more about Theresa and her offerings at https://www.anahatakingston.com/  Learn more about Jennifer and her offerings at https://www.cosmicmotherlove.com/
