Let’s say I saw a classified ad looking for a Male Rewilding Mentor. How would I respond?
I’m a widowed, unschooling dad and, I guess, an amateur Rewilding Mentor. I host children at my home weekly for Lego building and unstructured play and I’m in an amazing group of homeschooling parents, almost exclusively moms. I care deeply for the daughter of the woman I’m dating and outdoor adventures are our happy place. I’ve built a life surrounded by children and it brings me joy.
I’m not a serious hunting/fishing/survivalist type, but I respect and hold curiosity for all of that and expose my own sons as often as I am able.
What are you searching for and how are you going about it? Are you looking for a paid mentor, or volunteer? I’m not necessarily looking to monetize, I receive many material, spiritual, and emotional gifts from these children and mothers. I’m mentor-curious.
I believe what you are looking for is sorely needed in the world. I want my sons to do this work. I would love them to be Wild Gentlemen. The world would be better with more of that.
I’m not sure how to…what? systemize it, market it, make it go viral, turn the memes into action, manifest a spirit of positive masculinity…
Masculinity needs a rescue.
