Join our sacred hunting immersion experiences, build confidence, and step into manhood in the path of our ancestors.
The 2020 Man: Overworked & Painfully Domesticated
Civilization is a huge blessing... but it comes at the cost of fewer rites of passage and fewer ways to express healthy masculinity.
If your inner warrior wants OUT (beyond paintball and crossfit)... then you're ready for the hunt.
Most men feel they are missing something before they are initiated
This is what initiation creates...
Confidence in self
"There is nothing that inspires confidence in me than literally being able to go out and eat what I kill. Cannot recommend hunting enough."
- Mansal D
Intimacy with nature
"It's a powerful experience to get to connect with the land... spiritually, I had a really big breakthrough just being in that container..."
- Brandon E
Connection with food
"It’s no secret that the food system is broken…[I want to] only consume the meat that I directly hunt or trade”
- Jordan B
Healthy relationship with death
"Seeing her approach death was an emotional experience...I teared up and cried a bit."
- Tim K
Brotherhood
"It was a really great experience to bond with the other men there...[I enjoyed] the fireside convos. Awesome group of guys..."
- Kitch W
Primal masculinity
"Some of the most important men's work... world's work, really... this is something that felt really important for me to connect with my primal roots..."
- Jordan B
How its Done
There is no therapy, method, or program as old or as profound as sacred hunting.
Sacred Ceremony with Plant Medicines
Plant medicines, taken in sacred ceremony, have allowed men to expand their consciousness for tens of thousands of years.
Indigenous Practices, Prayers & Intentions
Indigenous hunter-gatherers had an intimate relationship with nature and the mysteries of the universe. Reclaiming these practices boosts our sense of gratitude and presence.
Hunting Ethically with a Tribe of Men
Hunting is older than humanity itself. Tribes of men would bond around the fire, share laughs, and provide meat for their loved ones and community.
Guided By
Mansal Denton "Little Beaver" is the founder of Sacred Hunting, host of the Mansal Denton Podcast, and the subject of an upcoming documentary BELOW THE DROP exploring our relationship to life and death through hunting.
Feeling insecure in early life, he chased a woman to Europe, which led him to prison. Struggling with shame and confusion of what it meant to be a man, he found his calling with the sacred art of hunting. He now desires to share this practice with more men.
His indigenous name comes from a Crow Sun Dance chief. His spiritual lineage is derived from 6 years of mentorship from a Muskogee/Creek medicine man named Will "Star Heart".
