Understanding attachment theory, the wild, and mental health in men with Duey Freeman & Michael Gay
Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to talk to you about the importance of working on our mental health, that’s why along with today’s guests Duey Freeman and Michael Gay, we bring you an episode with a strong message.
In this episode, we will be talking about contact, attachment, the wild, darkness, and pain. Also, we will dive into how returning to the human being's wild roots can help us heal our wounds and how energy is the gateway to having better relationships with the people around us.
We invite you to The UNcivilizing Men's Retreat that will be held from June 3 to 6. An event dedicated to men’s personal, spiritual, and mental growth. You can't miss it. https://www.manuncivilized.com/theuncivilizing
