An initiation into manhood through ritual, nature, and authentic connection
Summer 2026
Somewhere between modern technology and lack of culture, we lost the initiation ceremonies all boys would go through to enter manhood.
More than an initiation.
A week of outdoor adventure
Digital detox & real connection
Reflection and integration rooted in joy
Gathering With Purpose
Reinvigorating critical initiation ceremonies, connection with the land, our food, and our emotional bodies.
Building greater tools, skills and confidence to successfully navigate today's society.
The Journey Forward
An alternative summer education program for young men in the Roaring Fork Valley focused on nurturing the mind, body and spirit in a safe, authentic, meaningful and deeply connecting way.
