Upcoming Events
This gathering invites brothers into a deeper, embodied exploration of masculinity beyond performance, domination, or withdrawal. Rooted in inter-spiritual wisdom, depth psychology, and somatic practice, the weekend offers space to reconnect with the heart, strengthen the spine, and cultivate a grounded, life-giving presence.
Through ritual, council, contemplative movement, and archetypal teachings, we will explore what it means to be shaped by tenderness and strength, We will examine how patriarchy has shaped our bodies, relationships, and souls—and how a more integrated masculine can emerge in service to self, community, and the world.
