People often criticize me for being "too certain". That my claims are too big and confident. Yet I've often stood nervously on epistemic thresholds, feeling that I know, but failing to step across because "I don't have enough evidence". It took me a full year to start speaking out on the pandemic situation for this
On Sunday June 20th, we gathered the community of men to explore the "red force" of anger and rage and the consequences it has for our health and lives when we repress it. We also explored a brief ritual container where we worked on integrating it. Are you interested in
I take a more than average interest in conspiracy theories. Last May, I recorded a video on it that got quite popular, where I explored the archetypal dynamics of this fascinating phenomenon. In essence, I used my deep familiarity with the psyche and the collective unconscious to reject a lot of conspiracies as psychological projection.
As a student of the Collective Unconscious for more than a decade, cults are of great interest to me. They are laboratories of archetypal phenomena, where groups of people gratefully project their sovereignty onto a leader, principle or idea, until one day the whole thing blows up. The most prominent cults active
Living truthfully is hard. Yet if you are a man who wants to respect and value yourself, you need to tell and live the truth. To the very best of your ability. Always. Now, if all we were talking about here is ceasing conscious deception, it wouldn't be so hard. As far as I can tell,
Everyone who wants to live a peak performance life knows that there are myriad health trends washing over the world that seem to provide answers: The biohacking movement, intermittent fasting, wim hof, juicing, crossfit etc. If you are anything like me, you have big ambition in life and want to live the healthiest life
Our wounds are fertile soil for our gifts. When we stop running away from our wounds, and turn instead to face them, the night-monsters which have chased us reveal their true face and, as they do so, crack open, like piñata dolls, with goodies. Fun and playful as that image may sound, this path

As I work with men, I see recurring patterns. And lately, one pattern has become very loud. Ready for a challenging read? Then
Community Call #22 finally happened and featured Eivind's presentation of his new work "The Master Key". It was a big call which featured some lively debate and back and forth afterwards.

I visited Sweden earlier this month to donate a Reclaim your Inner Throne constellation work weekend to the Noden Men's Group (just because I wanted to support them). It was a beautiful weekend with much male bonding, insights and profound breakthroughs. Andreas R is a young man I had the honor of facilitating through my
We had a great community call yesterday February 11 on the topic of Initiation. We covered what it is, explored why it is important and what the consequences are of not taking it seriously. We had a colleague from America also involved in initiation come join us, saw many new faces, and explored what the
Listen in as Reclaim your Inner Throne founder Eivind Figenschau Skjellum, and author, teacher and spiritual activist Terry Patten, share their thoughts on the forces of chaos and polarization that are moving in the world. Is it the end of the road, or are we in an initiatory process to the maturation of our species?
As 2016 draws to an end, it seems like Pandora has opened her proverbial box. We turn on the news, tune in to our social media streams, and cannot help but feel that the dream of humanity is collapsing. The Lord of Chaos is walking openly in the streets, and people are running scared. Whether
When I work with my men on Reclaim your Inner Throne, one of the core concepts I bring to them is the Hercules Complex and how debilitating it is. The Hercules Complex (coined by James Hillman AFAIK) is the tendency in men to think we need to be strong, to muscle through it, to exert heroic
You're alive on this planet, at this time, to discover what lives at the depths of your being, and then serving the world with your gifts. That's not just some high-flying woo woo. I believe that with all of my being and am ready to make a fierce stand for it in the world. And when I
