39 | Peter Eugène Bennett | Soulful Masculinity: Grief, Play, and the Alchemy of Becoming
“It’s the integration, the alchemy of that lead into gold.”
Here is an audio version.
A video version can be found below.
Peter joins us to explore the wild terrain of masculinity. Together, we reflect on how early models of masculinity shaped our lives—leaving wounds manifesting as anger, shame, and fear, but also offering gifts, including those forged from forgiveness, integration, and gratitude. Through somatic work, sacred union, and deep self-inquiry, Peter discovered life-affirming ways to transform his early wounds into sources of vitality, strength, and wisdom.
We delve into grief as initiation, death as an essential teacher, and the hidden intelligence within suicidal tendencies when seen through a mythic lens. Our conversation also touches on the delicate balance between masculine and feminine energies, the importance of embodying a ‘strong back and a soft front,’ and the Trickster’s role as a force of disruption and renewal.
Peter invites us to walk lightly through life and calls for more playfulness in men’s work—reminding us that true masculinity is a dynamic dance of vulnerability, strength, love, and joy.
