119: Solo - Mentorship and the Archetypal Masculine: A Sacred Transmission

Visit drjohnwprice.com to explore the new site and sign up for the free live webinar on May 14th at 7:00pm CST—a communal space to deepen this work together. In this first solo episode of The Sacred Speaks, I open the door to a new format—one that invites reflection, story, and personal encounter. We begin with mentorship. Drawing from Homer’s Odyssey, we explore the sacred roots of the mentor archetype. I offer reflections on what mentorship has meant in my life—from the early days as a musician to the path of a seeker—and trace the thread through conversations with two giants in this work: Father Richard Rohr and Dr. James Hollis. We’ll move through the terrain of masculine energy, myth, music, therapy, and spiritual awakening—touching on what it means to be shaped by others and what it might mean to become a shaping force ourselves. I also share where the podcast is headed, including an upcoming turn toward the feminine. You’re invited to consider your own mentors—those seen and unseen—and how they’ve helped guide your becoming. 🌀 Episode Guide: (00:00) Introduction to Mentorship (00:40) Welcome to The Sacred Speaks (00:58) New Solo Format and Intention (01:42) Mentorship and the Masculine Archetype (03:27) Personal Encounters with Mentors (05:34) Music as Initiation (07:07) Therapy, Teachers, and Turning Points (11:41) Rohr and Hollis: Two Guiding Lights (21:00) Masculine Wisdom in Archetypal Form (22:50) A Glimpse Ahead: The Sacred Feminine WATCH: YouTube for The Sacred Speaks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/ @thesacredspeaks Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesacredspeaks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesacredspeaks/ Brought to you by: https://www.thecenterforhas.com Theme music provided by: http://www.modernnationsmusic.com
