Return to Wholeness, One Initiation at a Time

I didn’t come to this line of work on purpose.
I arrived because I had no choice.
My own downward spiral was horrific and systemic.

The pain of disconnection was too loud.
The confusion around what it means to be a man, too consuming.
The ache for something real—for purpose, direction, training, the education on how to human I never got was too deep to ignore.

Like many of us, I grew up in a home and in a culture that held deep wisdom, deep challenge, deep love, and deep complexity.
I was surrounded by spiritual ideas, alternative paths, and the beauty of expanded consciousness.
I carry deep love and reverence for the people who raised me, and for the values I was handed.
But I was also handed questions that no one seemed able to answer:

What does it really mean to be a man?
Where are the elders?
Why have I been taught nothing about intimacy, relationships, and sex?
Where was the sacred initiation that transforms boys
into men of depth, devotion, and power?
And how the hell do we come back into right relationship with ourselves,
each other, and the world?

I didn’t have those answers.
So I spent years searching for them.

I wandered through performance and people-pleasing.
Collapsed into codependence and Nice Guy patterns.
Struggled with self-worth, scattered energy,
and an undercurrent of shame I couldn’t explain.
I chased women and approval, artistic dreams and spiritual highs.
And still—I felt unanchored.

The breakthrough came in pieces.
A book handed to me (Iron John).
A broken finger that sidelined my career but awakened my soul.
A trail of teachers and teachings—some illuminating, some humbling,
some in shadow, some in light.
Moments of excommunication and reorientation.
Years of stumbling into what I now know
was the initiation I was always looking for.

And through it all, one truth became clear:
Human beings do not heal in isolation—
We heal in tribe.
We heal in truth.
We heal in the sacred tension between masculine and feminine,
structure and surrender, fire and grace.

To that end, I work with men.
I guide them back into their bodies, their purpose, and their leadership—
as I was guided.
Not through domination or performative strength,
but through embodiment, empowerment, and transformation.

I work with women—women ready to heal their wounds with the masculine, reclaim aspects of their suppressed femininity, understand men and themselves
in a new way, to stop holding it all alone, and to reestablish trust with men
in the context of community.

And I work with couples, helping them restore polarity, communication, and erotic connection in a world that never taught us how to be together as love.

I do this through 1:1 mentorship, group experiences, intensives, and private retreats.
I also speak, teach, and lead workshops in sacred and secular spaces alike.

But more than anything, I walk this path because I live it.
Every moment of each day.

This isn’t self-help.
This isn’t therapy
This is soul repair.
Mine and yours.
This is cultural repair.
Ours.
This is the work of remembering what it means to be human again—in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and something greater.

So whether you’re a man seeking purpose,
A woman longing to learn how to be met,
Or a couple navigating the sacred mess of holy intimacy—

I honor you for being here.

This work takes courage.
And the world is starving for people brave enough to do the work
of becoming whole.

Welcome.
