Summary

Talking points: vision quests, initiation, culture, ritual Do things like vision quests and ceremony actually DO anything? Should they? What does it mean to "connect to a place"? What happens to a man when he's immersed in nature—without a phone or a to-do list or even a destination? These are some of the wonderings I had with Mr. Darren Silver in this fascinating and enjoyable conversation. I'm a big believer in getting everything, not just men, out into the wild occasionally to reconnect with the non-human, and Darren shows us just how fruitful that can be. Darren Silver, MA, is a rite of passage guide, Nature-Connected Coach, ceremonialist, and innovative educator. He has over a decade of experience working with ritual, wilderness living skills, and guiding transformational experiences residentially and internationally. A gifted storyteller and apprentice to the old myths, Darren weaves the power of the natural world, vision, and community in devotion to the remembrance of regenerative culture.

0:00.0	All right, team, welcome back to the Man Talk Show.
0:13.4	As you might have noticed, the audio for this introduction is a little bit different than usual.
0:18.7	That is because I forgot my microphone when
0:21.2	traveling. And so this intro is brought to you by my iPhone. Let me tell you about our guest today.
0:28.8	And don't worry, the audio for the actual episode will not sound like this, although I'm sure my
0:33.8	incredible producer, Mr. Aaron Durand, did a lovely job of making it sound much better
0:38.8	than it does on my phone. So joining me today is Darren Silver, who was actually an introduction
0:45.1	by a former guest to Mr. Michael Gay, who I've had on the show a number of times.

1:25.0	remembrance of regenerative culture. So based on the bio, you can

1:34.4	passage initiation. We're going to talk about vision quest, but not in this, not in the normal sense,
1:39.7	right? We're not going to talk about like, what is a vision question? What do you expect out of it?
1:43.8	We're going to go into the what is a vision question what do you expect out of it we're going to go
1:44.5	into the purpose of a vision quest and a deeper understanding of belonging or finding our place in the
1:53.7	world we're going to touch on purpose and a few other very important topics so this is a wonderful
2:00.1	conversation i hope that you enjoy it and don't forget to man it forward any other very important topics. So this is a wonderful conversation.
