In the case of the Spider Ninja, his crucible moment coincided with the decision to grow his hair long. He’s not the only one, as we’ve heard many stories from within this community where men and boys have pledged to grow their hair for one reason or another, a declaration of independence, a symbol of taking a stand or choosing a path.

We can all be inspired, we can all make a change to alter the course of our lives. Crucible moments may come in different shapes and sizes and through different experiences, but we all are capable of finding our flow.

We want to celebrate the idea of this crucible moment, the notion that we might each have our own, and that others will have theirs; to inspire us each to find our flow.
