In this episode of the Spiritual Teachers Podcast, Petr sits down with Jeddy Azuma, founder of Rising Man, to discuss men's rites of passage, modern masculinity, personal transformation, leadership, discipline, Vision Quest ceremonies, sweat lodges, and the importance of initiation in today's world.
Jeddy shares his awakening journey from a successful physical therapist in New York City to becoming a leader in men's work and transformational experiences. Through meditation, wilderness fasting, indigenous-inspired ceremonies, and community mentorship, he discovered a deeper purpose rooted in service, brotherhood, and conscious leadership.
This episode explores:
Jeddy explains why initiation is missing from modern culture, how ceremonial experiences can transform a man's life, and why deliberate hardship is essential for developing resilience, purpose, and self-respect.
The conversation also explores balancing technology with authentic human connection, creating meaningful communities, and helping men reclaim healthy expressions of strength, discipline, and leadership.
If you're interested in men's work, personal growth, spiritual development, rites of passage, leadership, wilderness experiences, self-mastery, or conscious masculinity, this episode delivers practical wisdom and powerful insights.
