Have you Lost your Teenage Fire? Hosted by: Tripp Lanier Guests: Ed L., Patrick Hillman, Casey Capshaw Running Time: 3:15 Check out a short segment from this interview. Click here to listen. When does a boy become a man? In more tribal times in human history, the transition to adulthood for men was very clear. It was accompanied by support and ceremony and left no question in the minds of the boys or the tribe about status or responsibility. Our modern social structure seems to have abandoned this support structure for transition, something we are learning is so essential for young men. Threshold Passages is one organization that is changing that. Threshold Passages brings together young men on the path to adulthood, with willing mentors dedicated to helping these young men on their way. Together, these men and boys at varying stages of life, share wisdom, energy and support in the form of Adventure weekends and weekly group meetings. This week we talk with Ed Lippolis, a program "mentor" at 39 years old and Patrick Hillman, a program "journeyman" at 16 years old. We get the perspective on both sides of this unique group mentoring program and hear about how important this program is in each of their lives. Areas of Conversation: Rite of passage, mentor, coaching, big brothers and sisters, elder, tribe Falling Fruit is a conscious media network that exists to inform, empower, and connect global change agents—people like you who understand the urgency and importance of making positive changes in their lives and in the world now, in the most effective and intelligent ways possible. About The New ManIntroducing the New Man. The New Man is constantly evolving, changing and growing. He is not the "macho jerk," mindlessly bullying through the world. He is also not the "New Age wimp," out of touch with his deepest power. The New Man finds integrity in every moment and always looks for his truest expression. Listen as we meet with leaders in the field of men's development work as well as men expressing their truth in all walks of life. |
