ARETE

A 12-Week Initiation to Unlock Your Potential and Awaken Your Vital Essence... 

OCT 1st - Dec 17th 2023

Session Times: Wednesdays 11:00AM - 1:30PM PDT hosted on ZOOM

This Program is Limited to 12 Men

Do you ever find yourself going through the motions of life, lacking a true sense of purpose and direction?

Perhaps you've worked hard to establish some level of comfort in your professional life or within your relationships, but deep down, you sense that you're not truly living at your fullest potential.

Life feels okay, but it's missing that spark—the feeling of truly being alive.

Through my own personal journey and multiple decades of working with thousands of men, I've come to understand that our relentless pursuit of comfort often becomes a clever way to avoid confronting the things that cause us suffering. Strangely enough, the more we try to evade our challenges, the more they persist and keep us stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.

I've discovered that there's a transformative power that lies within every man... it just requires the right conditions to turn it on.

It's through the courageous act of turning towards our deepest fears—physical, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual—that we experience genuine and lasting growth and transformation.

I know you long for more than a safe, predictable, and domesticated version of yourself. Deep within you, there are untapped aspects of your being waiting to come online.

It's a reconnection to and remembrance of your true, authentic, undulterated nature—an act I like to call "rewilding."

By embracing this process, you'll ignite a fire within you, feel inspired, and remember that you're here on this Earth to create something truly meaningful.

Yet, let's be honest, achieving this level of personal growth and transformation isn't easy when you go at it alone. You may have attempted to make changes in the past, only to find yourself caught in old patterns and spinning your wheels. The truth is, you're not alone in this struggle.

Society bombards men with toxic messages that contribute to the sense of being confined to the the "man-box", often leaving us battling anxiety, stress, and depression. Unfortunately, the negative stigma surrounding seeking help prevents many from finding the support they desperately need.

But there is a way forward. It begins by acknowledging that men need each other.

Throughout history, men weren't expected to navigate life's passages in isolation. Elders, mentors, and extended family members played pivotal roles in guiding men through initiations that taught them the wise use of power, sexuality, and aggression. It's time for us to reclaim that ancient wisdom and integrate our primal nature towards a path of purpose and service.

It's time to let go of the "lone wolf" mentality and embrace the power of brotherhood. Together, we can rise above our pain, support one another, and become the noble kings we were always meant to be.

Welcome to Pneuma—a transformative journey that will help you uncover the underlying blind spots that have kept you stuck, break free from self-doubt and mediocrity, and cultivate a life of purpose, connection, and fulfillment.

Within our community of high-performing men, you'll gain access to a powerful blend of science-backed tools, practices, and wisdom. Together, we will provide the support and accountability you need to reconnect with your life's purpose, tap into unshakeable confidence, and create nourishing relationships that fuel your soul.

It's time to rewrite your story, redefine what it means to be a man, and co-create a stronger, more connected world. Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey? Step into a life of purpose, connection, and fulfillment with us.

Why Men Remain Stagnant...

Many men choose to stick with what's familiar instead of embracing the unknown. Whenever they encounter fear, they retreat to their comfort zone, seeking safety and control.

However, this comfort zone is anything but comfortable. Although it may be familiar, it fails to provide genuine comfort.

Remaining within the boundaries of the familiar creates a false sense of security. It may even give the illusion of progress. However, in reality, it's merely a way of avoiding the fear of change.

While the world or your partner may be urging you to be more vulnerable, it's important to understand that vulnerability isn't about spewing your psycho- emotional inner dialogue everywhere you go.

True vulnerability means leaning into uncertain and unmanaged outcomes. It's the opposite of weakness; it requires genuine courage.

This is the real challenge that awaits you.
