About this book:

'The Peaceful Power of the Initiated Man' is a spiritual and self-help guide focused on masculine wholeness and personal transformation. Part of the 'Soul Bath' book series, it explores themes of reclaiming lost masculine energy through a 'New Short Form Daily Practice.' The text emphasizes a holistic approach to life and relationships, blending elements of shamanic journeys, tantric alchemy, and conscious awakening.

The main argument of the book is that modern masculinity is in a state of crisis due to generational trauma, the breakdown of ancestral lines, and the influence of "Taker Societies" (hierarchical structures). 

The crisis of modern masculinity has a 6,000-year-old root. This book offers the tools to dissolve it.

This book unpacks why men oscillate between the distorted archetypes of the "tyrant" and the "collapsed masculine". It brings clarity to the fact that therapy offers us understanding of these patterns and even their root causes, but often stops there. This book introduces the idea that we can identify these causes as energetic layers that we can dissolve, tackling our wounds at their energetic root.

“I have known Simon for five years… We met in Ibiza and have collaborated on several events and experiences that allowed me to deeply understand the vision and dedication he brings to his work.

This book represents an extraordinarily interesting and well-structured summary of everything he has built over the years. It is not simply a collection of content, but the synthesis of a journey shaped by study, hands-on experience, and continuous evolution. The writing is clear and direct, capable of making even the most complex concepts accessible without ever being superficial.

For those who already know Simon, this book confirms his consistency and what I believe to be his greatest gift: an intelligent, diamond-like clarity. For those discovering him now, it is an excellent starting point to understand the depth and value of his work, so relevant for men who are walking their path.

Personally, reading it felt like retracing a shared journey, with the awareness of how much one can learn by working alongside people who bring passion and integrity to what they do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Christian Weitbrecht

“A clear, practice-oriented approach to shamanic men’s transformational work! Simon’s shamanic energy work, the “Soul Bath,” makes it easier for me to bring unconscious patterns into awareness quickly and to reshape them. In doing so, it draws on tested, timeless, archetypal experiential realms. Through altered attributions of meaning, I was thereby able to noticeably transform my patterns of perception and behavior—toward a more joyful, emotionally richer, and more capable life with deeper relationships and connections. This is not theory, but my personal experience—exactly as stated here.
All the more, after working with Simon in workshops, I am pleased now to have his book at my disposal as a practice-oriented guide, one that explains the underlying principles in detail while simultaneously offering concrete impulses for my daily practice.” 

Diana Beaulieu

“A transformational read for men - and women! This book gave me some crucial insights, as a woman, about the often unspoken struggles that men face, a lack of clear masculine role models being one of them - and how to create a disciplined but manageable path for self healing that penetrates deep beyond "thinking and talking" models into the very heart of the unconsious so that men can begin to embody the "resonance" of the healthy masculine in a simple, direct way. A brilliant read, very heart felt and full of personal stories and simple transformational tools that can bring deep transformation for every man. We need more books like this!” 

Nico Janssens

“Simon’s book takes the reader on a truly remarkable journey of awakening and self-discovery. He embodies masculine strength in a grounded and balanced way, offering men the tools to reconnect with a power that has always lived within them. With clarity and depth, he invites men to become conscious creators of their own lives. I am deeply grateful for the wisdom he shares through the Soulbath practices. He guides men back to their true power, presence, and inner balance.”

With perspective shifts and new step by step practices, this book offers a grounded path to reclaiming inner strength, restore emotional balance, and access an inner source of deep self-confidence that lives beneath the surface.


Through the ancient lens of shamanic practice and initiation, simon sanud reveals how emotional pain, lack of confidence, and self-sabotaging behaviors are not actual weaknesses — but sign posts that can ultimately lead to transformation.

By gaining a surprising new perspective on the ancient history of male roles, the profound initiations we have lost and committing to this simple, sustainable practice, men reconnect with the essence of true masculinity: neither through domination nor detachment, but through presence, purpose, and inner peace— rooted in inner authority, emotional sovereignty, and the sacred process of coming into masculine wholeness.

Whether you're struggling with self-discipline, self-confidence, inner clarity or simply with how to show up in relationships, The Peaceful Power of the Initiated Man offers a sacred, grounded structure for ongoing transformation — with one intention, one action, one day at a time.
