#13 - Embracing both the Wild and Wise within us with Trevor Spring

#13 - Embracing both the Wild and Wise within us with Trevor Spring

This was an insightful and inspiring conversation with Trevor Spring, the founder of Wild and Wise, a Men’s archetypal embodiment experiential workshop and Wild & Wise Online, an online course of Health, Breathwork and Brotherhood.

Specializing in emotional, primal embodiment and the underlying states of health required to house mature masculinity, Trevor has spent the last 17 years working deeply as a holistic health and movement coach. Men’s work was beginning to feel heady, conceptual and based in story...full of important brotherly connections but like a support group for keeping things the same and just surviving within the existing paradigm.  So Trevor began his process of experimentation.

We discussed the importance of embodied practices that keep us connected to our physicality and the limitations of trying to deal with things from purely the mind/talking about it. Trevor gave a great overview and insight into the different masculine archetypes and how we can use them as a powerful self awareness and development tool. He spoke about the birth of Wild and Wise and the medicine that this offers the men who step into that space.

We also touched on the challenges that present themselves during the transition to fatherhood, conscious relationship as an initiation for growth and evolution, and the importance of honouring that natural cycles and phases of life.

This episode was deeply insightful and I can guarantee there will be more that one significant take aways for you. Enjoy!
