Boys to Men Mentoring Circle Podcasts and Media

In this podcast, mr.mask interviews LSA's Boys to Men circle leader Fraser Rishi McDonald about school, education and truth telling and how the circle he leads cultivates the minds and hearts of the youth and adult mentors that sit circle every Tuesday. The "garden you will tend" is an aphorism for our own internal and relational educational experiences. This podcast challenges us to reflect on the ecosystems and the gardens of our own lives and how our awareness and our choices affect what grows and what remains barren.

If you'd like to sit circle and speak truth in a confidential space with trained mentors, contact Alex Bon-Miller @ abonmiller@swlsb.ca
