Hi Friends & Family,
Today in Australia is Mothers Day, and while I usually try my best to ignore arbitrary days reserved for celebrating and honouring what we could celebrate and honour everyday, this one feels special, as it’s Anna (my partners) first Mother’s Day.
To all the Mama's out there in the world... thank you so much.
I never really understood the depth of maternal sacrifice, until I saw firsthand the scars, the rupture, the tears, grief, exhaustion, and the sheer relentless and attritional demands of keeping a child healthy.
Your contribution to life is so profound. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A million times over, thank you.

Recently I’ve been enjoying expressing myself on video, just choosing a topic on my mind, and letting myself free-flow.
Here are links to videos I’ve been sharing on my social media.
Finally, I wanted to share that theres been a strong call to action, a recalibration, and re-focusing since we passed through that last full moon, and eclipse.
About 50 people expressed an interest in joining a community initiative I was feeling called to create TAKSU Teahouse. This project is now on hold.
I have felt recently a very strong call to re-commit to the work I do with men. There’s a part of me that wants to create something inclusive for everyone (maybe thats the people pleaser in me (see video 4))….
But when I drop beneath all that, and listen to my heart, I know my mission right now is to support the brothers, and the resurgence of men gathering to remember the sacred heart of masculinity.
And of course, this work with the men is for the whole tribe. I’ll be sharing details of my new offering/ journey for men soon.
Thank you to all who expressed an interest in TAKSU Teahouse. Im very grateful for your trust and support. Im trusting that if its meant to be, it will re-arise in the future.
Sending love!
Jiro
