Shining the Light: From a Warrior's Anger to a Life of Sacred Purpose with Phil Owens

What lies beneath a man's anger? And what happens when he finally finds a safe space to let it go—not just for a moment, but for good?

In this powerful episode of 13 Minutes (The Podcast) with B, we’re joined by men’s coach and guide Phil Owens. Phil shares his incredible journey from a childhood in a religious cult and tumultuous military service—experiences that taught him to suppress his emotions—to a life dedicated to helping other men find their sacred purpose.

This conversation dives deep into the complex relationship men have with anger, the transformative potential of intentional plant medicine ceremonies, and the irreplaceable role of community in healing ancestral trauma. Phil explains how a painful childhood memory of "holding the light" for his father became the central metaphor for his life's work, guiding others through their darkest moments.

This episode is for any man who feels stuck carrying the weight of the past, and for anyone curious about the powerful synergy between men's peer groups and altered states of consciousness for profound personal growth.

Key topics explored in this discussion include:

-The Warrior & The Lover: Finding the balance between the masculine and feminine energies within.

-Reframing Trauma: How to change your relationship with past pain rather than trying to eliminate it.

-A New Use for Anger: Moving beyond anger as a default reaction to using it as a deliberate tool when necessary.

-From Competition to Connection: The unique healing power of men’s peer groups.

-Intentional Plant Medicine: The role of MDMA, psilocybin, and 5-MeO-DMT in a ceremonial group setting.

-The Power of ""Letting Go"": How being supported by a community allows for deeper release and healing.

-Finding Your ""Why"": Discovering the inner light that provides the strength to endure any challenge.

Connect with our guest, Phil Owens, a guide who facilitates men's work, individual coaching, and altered states retreats.
