For generations, men's role in the culture was clear and well-defined: lead, support, provide and protect.

But as society has changed, and gender roles have undergone a revolution, many men feel confused and uncertain about their place in the world. 

Masculinity, once defined by self-responsibility, strength, courage, and perseverance, has come under attack.

We’re being told we must change. We need to be softer, gentler, less aggressive, and more in touch with our feelings.​Yet at the same time, the challenge to "man-up" and the pressure to succeed in a fiercely competitive world is as strong as ever.

These mixed messages, and a generation of boys raised without strong role models, have left men in a crisis. We're falling behind at every level of education. There's an epidemic of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and pornography. Suicide rates are at disturbing levels. Too many men are living aimlessly without purpose or meaning, feeling lost, isolated, lonely, and disembodied.

Now more than ever, men need brotherhood, support, and accountability. And places to unburden our shame, feel our pain, express our fear, and reclaim the power and goodness of our true masculine essence. 

The anger and frustration in the culture is a call for us to stand up and show up in a new way. 

Powerful men and healthy masculinity are essential to a balanced, thriving, and peaceful society. 

This "new masculine" is not a repudiation or denial of our ancestral traditions, but an integration of old and new: strong, wise, loving, tender, fierce, powerful, and creative. 

It's time, once again, for men to take responsibility for our lives, to align ourselves with our deepest truth and good intentions, and bring our gifts to the world in humility and service.

"The last workshop I attended with David was one of, if not the most life-altering, emotionally-reconfiguring events of my life...As someone who had trouble stepping into his power, loudness, and aggression, it helped tremendously... David made us feel safe enough to release feelings some of us may have never otherwise found a space for. Exceptional; worth traveling for."

Raw and real.  After having done 'work' on myself for 10 years, venturing into the uncomfortable has become a familiar feeling. However, David's workshop helped me feel safe enough to face the parts of myself that I have been shying away from. Through his guidance, I was able to reconnect and integrate with a long-suppressed primal aspect of my being... I feel amazing and powerful.  My results are a testament to David's guidance and the work he shares.
