My guest today is Chris Fletcher, a counsellor that specializes in working with youth and their families. He is also the co-author of the forthcoming book The Nine Rings of Alignment, alongside his partner.I first encountered Chris many years ago while visiting his oceanside retreat sanctuary Halfmoon Haven. Over the years, we crossed paths only a handful of times, though I was touched by his grounded presence and passionate dedication to his family.In our conversation today, we speak about his own troubled adolescence and how intergenerational trauma played out in his life. He shares candidly about the dissolution of his first marriage, the journey into fatherhood, and the birth of the Nine Rings body of work.And finally, he shares key insights into parenting his boys and maintaining intimacy and connection as an integrated father, throughout their teenage years and beyond. 9 Rings Official Website http://www.9Rings.ca Read an Introduction to 9 Rings and Guided Meditation Attend the 2022 Nine Rings Retreat Listen to more Mythic Masculine http://themythicmasculine.comSupport this podcast http://themythicmasculine.com/supporter Get full access to The Mythic Masculine at themythicmasculine.substack.com/subscribe
