The King Within: Modern Masculinity and the Sovereign Man 135: The Sacred Pause: Hunting, Healing, and Coming Home
In this solo episode, I share the transformative experience of my sixth sacred hunt—a trip that reset me from the inside out. From deep rest under an old tree to the intensity of a final morning harvest, this journey was filled with humbling insights on pace, presence, and purpose. I reflect on what it really means to walk with the land, how the hunt became a mirror for my life back home, and the unexpected ways these immersions in nature sharpen my leadership, my relationships, and my soul.
In this episode, I share:
- What sacred hunting taught me about presence
- The moment the land forced me to slow down
- Why success isn’t always about the kill
- How nature sharpens leadership and awareness
- The power of unplugging and walking with the land
- What makes this hunt different than all the rest
- Details on the upcoming Primal Reset Retreat
