Every man has the capacity to cultivate a depth of presence that commands and quiets a room...
A clear confidence with heartful structure and passionate depth...
And a conscious engagement with purpose that honors both doing and being...
An embodied wildness that transcends the walls of a home and the constraints of a busy schedule...
We are taught to achieve outward "success," but no matter how well you do, eventually you'll reach a point where something is still missing, where all that you have achieved is simply not enough.
Reclaiming what is missing requires a commitment to a new journey, a deeper exploration than most men are willing or able to make on their own...
These are the words you will find on Eli Buren's website, who is our latest guest on the podcast. These words beautifully describe the essence of what Eli brings through his work by leading groups and individuals into their core being, where pristine presence, powerful passion, and true purpose naturally emerge.
I first became exposed to Eli and his work at the beginning of this year by attending his 3-month Men's Container, "The Dojo," where we were guided into in-depth teachings on martial forms, deep meditation, and other embodied presence practices. These ultimately supported us in developing our capacity to meet our lives and the world with cultivated strength, sensitivity, openness, and depth.
From my first experience with Eli, I was awe-inspired by his capacity to command a space while also sharpening each individual in the room towards deeper presence, depth, and consciousness – so it's an absolute honor to have him on the show today...
This conversation came at the completion of the Dojo and served as an exploration around the importance of cultivating presence and depth, how this may support us in our lives, and what it actually means to lead our lives with a sense of devotion and agency.
We also had an interesting exploration around expanding range – whether it's from softness to fierce strength, fluidity to structure, or play to responsibility among many other valuable topics
It was an absolute pleasure for me to have this conversation with Eli, someone I see as a dear teacher and mentor, and I am confident that you will receive a lot of value from our interview together.
