In this session, you’re invited to journey beyond the surface of male identity into the realms of initiation, purpose and belonging. We’ll investigate how men who haven’t been initiated—who haven’t been guided through ritual, rite of passage or meaningful community—can leave significant voids not only within their own lives, but within families, workplaces and societies at large. We’ll ask questions like: What happens when a man never meets his deeper calling? How does that then shape the culture around him? And how might we — individually and collectively — facilitate a shift toward conscious masculine leadership and healthy contribution?This talk is both diagnosis and invitation: we’ll identify the signs and consequences of uninitiated masculinity, and then step through the possibilities of what emerges when men embrace initiation, ritual, purpose and alignment with something larger than themselves. Our aim: to help ignite a new architecture of mature, embodied masculine presence that supports society, rather than erodes it.About Mikaal BatesMikaal has dedicated his life to the conscious evolution of men, supporting them in stepping into the fullness of their potential and reclaiming healthy masculine presence.  His mission is two-fold:To ignite, celebrate and accelerate the conscious evolution of men and healthy masculinity across our planet. To help heal the divide between men and women by re-animating the lost arts of “Sacred Union” and the technology of tribe. Mikaal draws from diverse embodied leadership traditions: ritual theatre, rites of passage, dialogic coaching methodologies and initiation frameworks. Beyond his professional work, he lives out his message: lifting heavy objects, swimming with sharks, dancing, playing piano, talking to animals and curating ecstatic experiences in service to “Something Greater.” In his coaching and facilitation practice, Mikaal serves men (and groups of men) through 1-on-1 services, group programs (such as THE KING’S CODE and KINGDOM), men’s circles and retreats. Why You’ll Want to Listen:Because if we’re honest, the absence of initiation in many men today shows up in systemic ways — in leadership vacuums, ungrounded drive, emotional detachment, relational breakdown, and a culture of disconnection. Mikaal helps us see the deeper architecture behind these patterns, and more importantly, offers a path forward: one marked by initiation, service, alignment and maturity.What You’ll Gain:A clear understanding of what it means to be uninitiated and how that condition impacts individuals, families and systems.Insight into the key milestones of initiation — how a man is called, how he moves into purpose, how he operates within tribe and service.Practical frameworks to support men (and their loved ones) in shifting from uninitiated to initiated—so that the whole of society benefits.Learn More: https://www.mikaalbates.com/Rooted & Wild provides general information for educational and informational purposes only.
