The Algiz Guard

This is an empowerment ecosystem for men. It’s not about being better than someone else, it’s about being the best version of yourself!

After a long hiatus TAG men's circle will begin meeting every 3rd Monday of the month. This is a free event.

Don't worry if you can't get there right at 6:30. Just get there!!

We will be meeting in Kaysville, Utah. When you register you will be provided the address.

If you want to attend or know someone that wants to attend and have questions about what we do at a men's circle I'm tagging on this post some of our regular attendees and they can tell you all about it!!

Isolation or solitude?

In isolation there is suffering. It's involuntary. It's reminiscent of punishment as a child. This is what many men endure. Often telling themselves that no one cares, no one gets it.

In solitude we find intentional reflection. It is peaceful, energizing, invigorating. We come back refreshed and clear.

Find solitude. Deny isolation

One of my favorite quotes pertains to the Christian faith but has widespread application in other spaces. It is "preach the gospel at all times, when necessary use words". Regardless of your belief system I believe the underlying principle here is that the best way to teach something is to be about it. The best way to invite others into it is to be about it.

Telling everyone else how they should be, standing in judgement of how they are, gossiping about them, trying to tear others down that you don't agree with, is so different than those I admire most. The ones that I admire are the ones who with quiet dignity show up as themselves, they don't apologize for what they think or feel but they certainly aren't trying to shove it down everyone else's throat either.

If you are one of the ones who are operating under the noise and around it, I see you and I admire the hell out of you. Your actions inspire me!

Social media has been exhausting for me this week. It seems that everyone wants to make sure that I know how they feel about how everyone else is showing up in the world. Did you get that? I need to know how THEY feel about how EVERYONE else is showing up in the world.

Their candidate won and here is why this is good for everyone or their candidate lost and here is why this is bad for everyone.

There is no shortage of people out there trying to tell you what should be important to you and when you step out of alignment with how they think you should behave they will be sure to let you know.

Here's the thing for me. I want to create a world where I can focus on if I'm aligned to who I feel I should be and that you're aligned to who you feel you should be. If I've ever come across as someone who wants to tell you how YOU should be doing it, I am sorry for that.

How I want to show up and the people I want to surround myself with are people that say "here is what's working well for me" or "here is something that I think would be valuable to your awareness" and then I get to take that information how I want and go live my life.

If you find yourself wanting to force everyone either through fear or legislation or intimidation into seeing things your way, I will let you know, that has never worked for me and I don't feel it will work out very well for anyone, in the long term.

A few weeks ago a brother sent me this picture that he saw on someone else’s post. It is digital art by

He told me that it reminded him of me. I was flattered. I do not see myself like this. Not at all!

Since that time I’ve been thinking about how constantly critical I am of myself while simultaneously not taking the steps to shift my body.

Body dysmorphia is primarily talked about for the feminine. I can tell you it is very real for the masculine, as well.

I’m not advocating for the disillusionment that plagues our world right now where so many celebrate a complete lack of physical health as honorable.

I am advocating for us to love ourselves enough to become the best version we can be and then to constantly love and honor that version by using our strength to serve, build, provide and protect.

Saturday 3/16 (tomorrow) we have an opportunity to provide service for The Village Garden. All are welcome.

The Village Garden is starting up their garden for their Food For Families Program. This program grows food in several gardens on the west side of the city to distribute organic produce to families experiencing poverty.

On Saturday March 16th we will gather from 10-2 to revitalize the main village garden.

We will be:

Cultivating the soil with broad forks (great workout)

Pulling early weeds

Spreading compost and other amendments

Planting seeds to begin the season!

Many hands make light work so join us and let’s help feed families that need it.

Great time today as our brother offered his time and talents. We learned to rope (some better than others 😅) and we got to ride.

Thank you to Logan Quarter Horses in Nephi, Ut for allowing us to use your amazing facility! Thank you for the pulled pork sandwiches after 🤤

Grateful for these men and brotherhood! ᛉ

As we experience the cooler temperatures and things begin to give up life to enter stillness, there is opportunity in this time.

Opportunity to mimic the silence and stillness. To learn patience. To take time.

This Wednesday on our group call we will discuss the rune ISAZ. The rune for ice. We will talk about patience, silence and solitude.

Join us!!

This week in our meeting we are to be talking about potential.

The rune Perthro is shaped like a baby in the womb. What greater symbol of potential could exist?!

What is your potential? What is it you’re doing with it? Where are you pretending that it doesn’t exist?
