Whether we believe in a higher spirit, Mother Nature, or the power of the people, our voices are vital in spiritual dialogue. Finding strength to live our masculinity with fierce integrity & grace is a ‘spiritual’ process already; but rather than honor our spiritual awareness, many religious communities have shunned us and suffered as a result.
