Artist, father, professor, co-founder of the Conscious Center for Living and Dying, and Mankind Project member Brent Skidmore is here with us today to talk about all things healing, community, healthy masculinity and actually, life and death. He's a multi-faceted man and we are here for it.
For those of you who are expanding your definition of the masculine (what is possible, what healthy *free* support can look like), for those of you worrying that you came to healing too late, and for those of you wanting to be renewed in some hope, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, he discusses his work with the Center for Conscious Living and Dying, the documentary 'The Last Ecstatic Days,' and his involvement in the Mankind Project and Journeyman, which mentors young boys. Brent reflects on his personal transformation, the significance of rituals, and the need for safe spaces for men to connect and heal. The conversation highlights the interconnectedness of life and death, the impact of racial trauma, and the journey towards self-acceptance and love.
