This book presents a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be an upstanding man today. More importantly, it offers a methodology for men to step into their unique life-affirming masculinity. Matt Sturm is the single most efficient teacher that I have ever known. Read this book to get the foundation. And then reach out to Matt to be held accountable to the implementation. You will never regret it.

The Organic Masculine deftly organizes the best consciousness maps we have today into a genuine inner workbook for genuine men serious about the sacred opportunity they've been given to evolve Human Masculinity itself. Using the forge of masculine sexuality, Sturm has created an accelerant for men to get painfully, blissfully honest with ourselves about how much of our bodies-hearts-minds-spirits we are actually bringing into our vital play power that is our life. The immense coordinating of so many tiers, stages, archetypes, lines, polarities and evolutionary processes he uses as the field of his focus shows Sturm's particular genius. But the indelible presence of the sacred and how he holds our species and all of life as precious and invaluable is his particular Blessing to us.

In our current zeitgeist of deep confusion contrasted by pure potential, Matt Sturm offers a much-needed way-finder in a world of uncertainty and unknowns. The Organic Masculine invites us into a love for nuance, the courage to play and the desire to thrive, all in service to awakening our inner archetypal Magician. With our Wizard Within we learn to alchemize our antiquated aspects of masculinity to activate our primordial ancestral aliveness. Realizing our creative power to do so, with confidence we can engage the friction and tension of these times to reforge our masculine identities on our own terms thus making way for whatever responsive and relevant actions urge to emerge through the depths of our individual and collective being.

Matt’s exploration of masculinity is as bold and comprehensive as I’ve had the pleasure to explore. Who are we as humans? Where are we going? What role does masculinity play in that evolutionary process? These questions set the foundation for the important personal exploration of what does it mean to be masculine in this world at this time. Be ready to have the way you look at yourself and the world forever changed.

Finally, a smart book of substance about men and masculinity, for anyone looking for an integral roadmap that brings together wisdom from the world’s leading minds. Matt deftly weaves together the mythic, spiritual, philosophical, historical and practical - while adding his own helpful critiques and personal vulnerability - into a systematic approach to understanding consciousness, the universe, and paradigms of masculinity. An ambitious book that is also deeply satisfying.

Matt has offered men and women a great service with this book. If you are on a quest for deeper embodiment, and if you are on the path of evolution into an integrated whole, The Organic Masculine offers the best map to date for masculinity and challenges you to engage completely in your process of becoming.
