Being invited by the Wild at Heart Team early in the pandemic to offer a "virtual" experience for men to gather was both challenging and daunting to me in my spiritual and masculine journey. I'm no "rookie" at either - and it had been a while since I had spent time in connection to other men who are seeking the ancient paths. I've found this experience...both in offering the opportunity to meet new men and pursue deeper fellowship with like-hearted kings I've known through Wild at Heart for years...to be rich, deep, not without its challenges, and ultimately fulfilling in God's deeper initiation of me as a man. The concept for offering this gathering in the Spring/Summer has been simple but fiercely intentional: to provide a space for men to honestly share their story with other men, while also being offered the gift of learning to listen to another man's story with honor. After 25 years of sitting in men's circles, I am still amazed at how dangerous for good such a journey is to undertake and engage. We've been doing this for over 14 weeks now - yes, it's gotten "messy" at times but I'm also aware that inside of that - or in spite of it - there is something deeper that Jesus is after in the heart, story, and habitat of each man sitting with me at the Roundtable. While not the leader or facilitator proper of this group of mighty men, I am grateful that God, as Father, invited me to offer it and to chase wild in the rugged terrain of story. I'm not sure where this particular council of kings will lead me - or them. I don't have to have it figured out. I'm just grateful for the opportunity and to not shy away from offering it again to another group of men come this Fall/Winter.
