What does it mean to be a real man in today's world? This profound conversation between spiritual teacher Jonni and his wife Carla cuts through cultural confusion to reveal the essence of authentic masculinity.Carla opens with raw honesty about her past relationships with men who looked the part—tall, strong, financially successful—yet consistently disappointed her when emotional depth and accountability were required. "I'd given up on my definition of a man being possible to find," she confesses, describing how these experiences steadily eroded her expectations of what men could truly offer.Jonni frames these common relationship patterns through a compassionate therapeutic lens, explaining that many men reach their "ceiling" when relationships require self-reflection. Rather than confronting their wounds and feelings of inadequacy, they retreat to activities that distract and soothe. The root cause? Our culture's complete lack of meaningful rites of passage that help boys develop into emotionally mature men.The heart of authentic manhood, Jonni suggests, rests on self-awareness paired with deep compassion, the ability to take full responsibility, and a commitment to values even when challenged. Most surprisingly, he reveals that embracing feminine qualities—surrender, emotional flow, vulnerability—is essential for men to become fully integrated human beings.This conversation offers healing insights for both men feeling lost in modern gender expectations and women seeking to understand the developmental challenges many men face. By redefining masculinity as a journey of integration rather than domination, Jonni and Carla point toward a more balanced future where men and women support each other's fullest expression.For those inspired to deepen this work, details about the Sacred Man retreat can be found here — an opportunity for men to heal shame and avoidance patterns and develop the emotional intelligence our world desperately needs.1 Giant Mind is evolving!!

Witnessing consciousness transforms our relationship with ourselves and others in ways mindfulness practices only hint at. Unlike deliberate attention practices, true witnessing emerges spontaneously when we make contact with our deeper nature – pure consciousness itself.1 Giant Mind is evolving!!
