Connor Beaton - On Fatherhood (interviewed by Ian MacKenzie)
ManTalks Podcast
Father Initiation Ceremony and the Transition Into Fatherhood
A father initiation ceremony facilitated by a group of men provided support and transformation for the speaker as he transitioned into fatherhood. The ceremony allowed him to express his fears and concerns, while receiving affirmation and guidance from other men who saw the fatherly potential within him. By giving voice to his inner adolescent struggles and allowing them to be acknowledged and released in the presence of experienced fathers, the speaker found strength, assurance, and direction in embracing his new role. The ceremony also provided a space for him to grieve the part of himself that resisted change, leading to a profound shift in identity that occurred when his son was born.
