We hosted our friend Yin Paradies at Tree Elbow over the weekend and before Yin left he and Patrick recorded a conversation focussed on their encounters within the ecology of men’s business.
Whether experienced in this subject or entirely new to it, we hope you enjoy their yarn on rites of passage, sacred economics, personal accountability, ‘fallen patriarchy,’ and reclaiming indigenous and peasant masculinities.
Listen (1hr, 6mins)

In their conversation Yin and Patrick refer to a previous dialogue Patrick had with Yin and his partner Victoria: Bridging, on the way back to indigeneity, and Patrick mentions drafting an annual ceremonial calendar as the next stage of our community’s revillaging.

Thanks for reading and listening! As always Dear Subscriber, we enjoy your feedback, comments and questions.
I was too once sitting on the bridge of Mostar in Bosnia, passage between West and East, at 17 yo watching a World passing from peace as I was on my way to India… ‘They’ came and destroyed it! Two worlds consumed by religion and territorial greed. The way men die and needing rebirth?
Can still feel/hear the intensity of that moment, Jean-Marc. Thanks for sharing, brother.
I enjoyed the thoughtful gentleness expressed in this conversation.
It felt like two ships crossing each others paths for a moment at sea, and realising they’re on similar journeys only coming from different ports.
Thanks Tys! 🙏🏽
Thank you. This was peaceful and considered.
Thanks Matthew! We’re glad you found peace in this sharing.
