The Call

the Separation

the Separation

Fathers do you hear that persistant and familiar call that it is time for your boy to step up? 

The feeling that he feels lost and alone.

That frustration that he is not taking responsibility for himself.

That feeling that you are losing him.

That fear of him growing up.

That feeling you can't fix him any more.

the Separation

the Separation

Seperating from our lives we step into a community of men to collectively let go and invite boys into responsibility for the journey ahead.

Farewelling the little boy in preperation to reset and welcome home the man.

Time to let go.

Our 3 day experiential program forges the way...

The Work

the Separation

The Return

Through experiential and timeless processes our community of men will hold a safe space for each boy to face their own challenge required to transition into the next phase of their life as a man. Being held as they tear down the obstacles that are holding them back. Uncovering a deeper sense of purpose while discovering inner strength and wisdom that will serve them for life.

The Return

the Separation

The Return

Returning from their hero's journey, each boy is celebrated for their unique gifts and talents. Each boy is invited to take their place as men amoung men. To stand side by side with new brothers and uncles. Building an ongoing community that willl continue to integrate and support each individual's journey. To be welcomed home by the family as young men.
