Do you feel lost as a man - disconnected from your strength, your purpose, or the core of who you are? Have modern ideas about masculinity left you confused, ashamed, or unfulfilled? You are not alone. Across the world, men are waking up to a deep truth: the masculine spirit has been buried beneath decades of conditioning, guilt, and spiritual amnesia. Introduction To Masculine Restoration Through Shamanism is a spiritual and psychological primer for men ready to rebuild themselves from the inside out. Written by married shamans Patrick Coleman and Merrick Jacobson, this book explores masculinity as a sacred force - not a stereotype, performance, or social role. It invites men to reconnect with their bodies, their sexual energy, and their natural authority in a way that is raw, grounded, and real. This book is written for open-minded and unconventional men - those who may not resonate with traditional religious dogma, self-help clichés, or heteronormative frameworks. Introduction To Masculine Restoration Through Shamanism speaks to men who think differently, feel deeply, and question everything. It does not demand belief; it invites exploration. Whether you are straight, gay, bisexual, married, single, or simply seeking a deeper sense of integrity, the principles in this book apply to you. Every man can benefit from this work - because true masculinity is not a label, it is a living force that rises in those brave enough to embody it. Inside, readers will discover: -How to clean up the "leaky masculine container" and build integrity from within -The power of semen retention and why sexual energy is sacred, not shameful -Shamanic rituals for body acceptance, emotional grounding, and conscious sexuality -Guidance for men in every stage of life and relationship -How to dissolve masculine shame and awaken the field of energy that brings order and peace This is not a self-help book - it is initiation.

Read this first to see if Masculine Restoration Through Shamanism is right for you. If you have felt the pull to reclaim your strength, to live with purpose, and to walk with dignity in a confused world - this book is where your restoration begins.

Patrick Coleman and Merrick Jacobson are men who love men - husbands, creative partners, and shamans walking the masculine path side by side. Their union stands as a living example of what Masculine Restoration Through Shamanism teaches: that true masculinity is not confined by orientation, appearance, or cultural expectation, but by integrity, purpose, and presence. Together, Patrick and Merrick have spent years dismantling false conditioning, confronting ego, and restoring the lost archetypes of mature masculinity. Their work is not theoretical - it is lived, tested, and embodied. They have faced the modern confusion around manhood, sexuality, and spirituality, and have chosen to rebuild it from the ground up through shamanic practice, honest self-examination, and mutual devotion. Their partnership gives this work a rare authenticity. While many voices in the masculine movement speak from abstraction or ideology, Patrick and Merrick write from experience - two men healing together, learning together, and leading by example. Their journey demonstrates that the restoration of masculinity is not about dominance or withdrawal, but about balance, truth, and connection. They are the authors of The Machinations of Ego, Transcend the False Self, The Daily Shaman, and The Concrete Shamanism Shadow Work Deck and Guidebook. Each of their works expands upon a shared mission: to help individuals awaken from illusion, reclaim their authentic power, and live as conscious creators in a distracted world. Through Concrete Shamanism, Patrick and Merrick continue to merge psychology, spirituality, shamanism and creative expression into a living path of restoration - one that invites all men, regardless of background or belief, to remember who they are and why they came here.
