From Screens to Soul
Raising embodied young men in a digital age
“A beautifully honest account of the situation facing parents and young men. Subtle shifts in thinking and sound practical advice – it felt like one dad just having a chat with another. I’m challenged not to fight screen time, but to expand the boundaries of my son’s world so that screens find a healthy position within it.”
How boys arrive at the threshold of young manhood makes all the difference to how they will one day relate to love, intimacy, and partnership.
For many boys today, that arrival is shaped by disembodied influences: toxic men of the manosphere, algorithmic fantasies, parasocial “AI companions,” and years of engagement with screens that offer stimulation but not grounding. It is the inheritance of a culture that has forgotten what it means to raise boys in a human way.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
There is another path: one rooted in the sensuous, living world. Boys can grow up knowing the moss under their palms, the shimmer of spider webs at dawn, the breath of wood smoke, the creak of winter pines, the soft ears of a hare. They can be attuned to the textures, rhythms, and subtleties of nature, carrying a different inheritance into adolescence.
In FROM SCREENS TO SOUL, you’ll learn how to help steward your sons toward this deeper connection — how to anchor them in their bodies, nurture their love of the living world, and prepare them for future relationships that are grounded, heartfelt, and capable of holding real intimacy. This webinar offers parents and mentors a way to guide boys toward a young manhood shaped not by algorithms, but by aliveness.
“Miki’s heartfelt and wholesome approach to the earth/soul/mythos connection to the modern plight of young men was very enlightening …Thank you for the advice you spoke to my question and to the vulnerability myself and others feel in this very important topic. Very insightful.

A 90-minute guided conversation with Miki Dedijer, hosted by Ian Mackenzie
you illuminate the challenge of raising connected, alive, and lit up boys with such compassion and understanding for the reality of the times we live in. I left feeling like there was a secret roadmap that could be discovered, and hope that the slow small moments of curiosity and connection really do matter. As a solo mother of two boys in various stages of becoming men, this spark has ignited my own longing to gather a community of support. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
