• Feel the ache—the one that knows that something is missing.

• Know you're playing small.

• Know stronger brotherhood waits just beyond the surface-level bullshit we call male bonding these days.

• Feel that drumbeat calling them to something more real.

• Are tired of holding back their full expression and power.

• Hunger for connection with brothers who can both challenge and witness them.

• Want to explore what healthy masculine energy actually feels like in their bodies.

• Are physically ready to use challenge as the gateway to deeper work.

Let's face it. Most of us stumble through manhood without a map. No elders initiated us. No right of passage showed us. No tribal brotherhood connected us. We've been told to "man up" while simultaneously being shamed for being out of touch with our emotions. We’ve been warned not to take up too much space yet feel impotent when we don’t. We’re trying to be sensitive, while being powerful, and it’s hard to know how to exist in our changing world.

This journey is about reclaiming what's been lost—finding the sweet spot where strength and tenderness coexist. It’s about unapologetically standing in our power, remaining connected to our hearts, and generously bringing others along for the ride.

We begin as seekers—individual men answering a call. Day one goes hard with a 20-mile uphill battle that serves to break down the walls we've confined ourselves within. By nightfall, something shifts. The physical challenge cracks us open.

Day two pushes deeper (35+ miles). In the earned exhaustion, we find courage to speak truths unsaid. To be seen in ways we've craved but feared.

At this point in the journey a brotherhood has formed. Day three is layover day. With no destination we regenerate our muscles while diving deeper into our selves, our squad, and the forest around us. After pointed discussion and an immersive workshop, we let the day’s serendipities unfold as they may.

This isn't just about going out. It's about coming back.

THE RETURN - COMING HOME TRANSFORMED

Our journey culminates on Day four with a powerful homecoming ritual in Salmon, ID, at a riverside sanctuary. As we float down the river on the final day—physically spent but spiritually charged—we prepare for the most important part of any hero's journey: the return.

That night, we're welcomed back by the women, friends and family in our lives. The community will be gathered to receive what we've discovered. This ain’t no normal party—it's a sacred reintegration. Around the fire, through music, dance, and storytelling, we share our transformations. We're witnessed not as the men who left, but as the brothers who've returned—more authentic, more alive, more capable of genuine connection.

This ancient pattern of men venturing out and returning with gifts for the village isn't just symbolic—it's necessary. The journey means nothing if we can't bring it home, if we can't let our transformation touch those we love.

This isn't led by theorists. Our facilitators have walked this path—men who've done their own work, faced their shadows, and learned to dance with both their warrior and their poet. They bring experience in wilderness immersion, rites of passage, embodiment practices, and men's work.

Support vehicle to carry your gear, 3 meals, 3 workshops, opening & closing ceremony, ritualistic experience, expert guides & guided route, bike support, playful & explorative space for growth, discussion prompts, camp fire, games, 1 surprise gift, supportive container of safety & belonging, logistics, and copious amounts of coffee & La Croix

This isn't for everyone. And that's the point. We're creating a container for men who are ready to get real—with themselves and each other.

The question is: Are you one of them?
