Our purpose is to be the change we want to see in the world and show others how to do the same. What does this look like? Bringing to the ocean love, joy, play, compassion, cooperation, and respect. Often we see people dumping their physical and emotional garbage in the ocean, leaving trash on the beach, polluting via drains and sewers, bringing their rage, excessive competing, and blaming and shaming everyone around them. We believe they do this because they have never been shown otherwise, no one has explained to them in a loving way the consequences of their actions, nor have they been given tools to live differently. We want to give everyone the tools to feel better, live in harmony with nature, and welcome the love, peace, beauty, and joy that they have inside themselves. Please join us and contact us. Everyone is welcome and your gifts are needed.

I’ll be honest: I don’t fully know what the f*** these words mean.

Masculine. Feminine. Polarity.

People throw them around like they’re obvious, like we all agreed on the definitions. But I’m still wrestling with them. I’m still feeling around in the dark. I’ve had moments where I could feel polarity in the room, clear as day, but if you asked me to define it in a neat little sentence, I’d struggle.

So this chapter isn’t me pretending to be the expert.
This is me wandering through the mystery out loud.

I grew up Catholic. Forced church. Catholic school. Male priests. Altar boys, not altar girls. At home, my brother and I did the outside work—mowing, digging post holes, lifting heavy sh**. My sister worked inside. At the family business, I was doing hard physical labor, hauling sides of beef, making deliveries, doing the rough stuff.

So from early on, I got the message:
Men do this.
Women do that.

Then I went to Fiji and saw a similar thing in a traditional village. Women cooking. Men fishing, building, working outside. Clear roles. Clear structure.
And I started wondering: did that clarity help?

In traditional cultures, marriage wasn’t this fragile little thing where people were constantly threatening to leave. You got married, and that was your life. So I wonder: did the roles help keep the ship steady?

Because in our modern culture, what the f*** is a man even supposed to do?
Make money?
Is that it?
Is masculinity now just “go make a bunch of money, even if the job destroys your soul”?
That’s where I get stuck.

Because I can feel this ancient part of me that would know exactly what to do in a village. Drop me into a tribe, tell me to hunt, build, protect, provide, help the people, and I’m good. I know how to do that.

But modern life?
Go sell poison. Go push propaganda. Go sit in fluorescent lights doing sh** I hate so I can make enough money to be considered attractive?

That doesn’t feel like manhood to me.
That feels like selling my soul...

I have another Neuro Somatic session scheduled for Friday.

One of the exercises was set points, a stranger gives me $5 how do I feel? Then increase the amount given and see how I feel, this gave me my set point for what money means to me or my beliefs.

Next exercise was parts work, going into child hood stuff and not feelings safe and feeling that pain and sadness. Fuck it's hard to emote and break down in front of someone I just met. I only feel safe being that vulnerable with my woman. I have seen parts work demoes and they didn't' do anything for me, but actually doing the work with a skilled guide felt amazing and powerful.

Next is the MAP method, this I'm super excited about. Easy simple effective. And don't have to share old wounds and the pain, just briefly think about past hurts and then she does some subconscious commands, and boom a wave of emotion and then release! I passed out for an hour after, and felt great the rest of the day. This kind of healing is trippy to me, part of me struggles to believe, but feeling is healing and I feel better.

I had my first Neuro Somatic session on Thursday, best I've felt in weeks or even months. Saw light at the end what’s been feeling like a never ending dark impossible tunnel. Grateful for the support: gofund.me/5c83840fb
