What's Happening to Men?

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.

How It's Done

Step 1

Monthly Connection, Challenges & Accountability

Men desire consistent connection and accountability. Each of the 9 months, we will deep dive together to prepare for our epic quests.

Step 2

Deep Feeling Workshop

This transformative workshop is meant for self-discovery and emotional liberation. We use Core Energetics to explore your inner world and harness the power of emotional expression.

Step 3

Resilience Training

Fasting, and enduring the elements is a cornerstone of masculine growth. Our weekend resilience training will test each man to the limit in the ways of our ancestors.

Step 4

Sacred Hunting

In indigenous cultures, a boy did not become a man without the rite of passage of hunting. This immersive weekend will be the final step of this container returning as a new man.

A Call to Adventure

Men can only learn so much from therapy and the comforts of the modern world. To embody virtues of masculinity, men must practice courage, perseverance, commitment, and integrity.

From the time of Alexander the Great and King Arthur’s round table, men have gone on a hero’s journey. This quest casts you as the hero of your own life, here to face challenges, gain insights, and return home transformed.

This is your call to adventure.

A Tribe of Men: Indigenous Wisdom

Men were not meant to be isolated and alone. Since the times of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, men would hunt together as a collective to be of service to the tribe. David and Mansal have over 20 years of combined experience with indigenous wisdom.

Sweat Lodge

To the Lakota, the sweat lodge or "inipi" was a "sacred place" for prayer and rebirth. We use the inipi as part of our container.

Hunting

The ritual hunt was a cornerstone of all hunter-gatherer peoples. But taking the life of another was done with reverence.

Fasting

Many tribes went without food, water, and shelter in order to be humbled by nature and learn from her.

"It was incredible...Easily one of the best experiences of my life. First kill on the tail end of medicine... I've never experienced anything like it."

"I don't know how you're going to top this."

Liver King after a private Sacred Hunting experience with his son

"Mansal has a very unique background and he does something very special... I think the principles of the sacred hunt are very relevant to todays world on many levels... it is clear that people are being deeply touched at many levels by the experience they're having with [Mansal]."

- Paul Chek

Founder of Chek Academy, World Renowned Educator in High Performance Living

"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."
