Brother, it’s time to Ignite your aliveness.

Deep in the core of every man lies a powerful force capable of creating life and destroying it.

For centuries, this potent energy has been abused to cause harm to the world, leading to the cultural suppression of healthy masculine energy.

The power of the emerging man is hiding behind trauma, shame, depression and addiction.

It’s time to re-ignite this powerful life force energy from a deeper level, beyond competition, fear, separation and greed.

It’s time for the masculine to come alive again.

“The Initiation is an opportunity to work through all the obstacles and the barriers that prevent us from being fully alive. ”

Reclaim your rite of passage into brotherhood

It is our birthright to find and follow our soul's purpose, to express our truest self.

To do this, we must crack through the layers of armour that once protected us from the emotional, spiritual and physical wounds we received growing up.

We must re-wire patterns & beliefs that block us from connecting with others, accessing our soul purpose and living a life of love and abundance.

Doing this alongside a tribe of conscious brothers is one of the most powerful experiences a man can have - this experience forges deeply meaningful friendships.

You don’t have to do this alone.

An embodied experience

This 7-day initiation focuses on three core principles dynamically applied throughout this training.

Connect to the Shadows Within

Shame, guilt, anger, grief, fear - these lurk within us all - sabotaging our lives through addictions, depression, blaming, and self-hate. Here, you will have support to feel these emotions fully and allow them to be processed.

Crack Through the Armour

Our bodies guard our traumas with armour - this prevents us from feeling the trauma but also fully feeling love. You’ll learn and embody shamanic, somatic and scientific tools to allow your nervous system & mind to recognise it’s now safe to drop this protection.

Allow the Light to Shine Through

As your nervous system moves out of survival mode; you’ll experience greater states of love, power and abundance. You’ll learn tools to use for life to regulate and feel your emotional states with more presence once you return home.

“It’s the perfect container for men to feel empowered and learn tools to understand themselves on a deeper level."

What can I expect at this training?

The initiation consists of ceremonies, sacred rituals and immersive embodiment experiences specifically crafted to invoke and provoke healing, expansion and balance in our being.

Together, we’ll explore our relationships to:

The masculine, The feminine, The inner child, Money, Power, Purpose, Brotherhood.

And many other parts of yourself you may have lost connection to or never had a connection with.

The invitation is to explore your edges with these areas, move towards the unknown, and open up to new possibilities.

This is an extremely deeply powerful experience that may not be suitable for everyone. If you have never done men's work, we recommend checking out our level 1 programme, “The Roots”.
