The Call to Adventure
An Eight Month Adventure to Unleash Your Potential
Are you struggling to break through patterns that keep you stuck and stagnant? Do you feel like there’s more to life, but it just seems out of reach? Whether it’s procrastination, addictions or other types of self-sabotage, this program will take you beyond your comfort zone towards a life of purpose, vitality and integrity.
Joseph Campbell said that those of us living in modern times have both the freedom and the obligation of finding out what our destiny is.
What do we do if we want to find out what the deeper meaning and purpose for our life is, while we are in the midst of living in our day-to-day worlds?
Join us together in a supportive circle to step into the unknown, and discover your unknown potential that lies within.
Who This is For
Men and male-identified individuals:
who recognize they are stuck and who hunger to break free, to build a life with vitality and richness
who aren’t satisfied with playing the victim and blaming others for their misery
who are ready to make a change, even if they’re not quite sure what that means
who are ready to step into the unknown and make a change
Stagnation takes many forms. Maybe you’re in soul sucking job that pays the bills, but leaves you feeling dead inside. Perhaps you feel unsatisfied in your intimate relationships. Maybe there’s a project, book, or business venture you keep putting off because it’s ‘not practical’ or you’re ‘not ready’. Or you want to improve your health, but you keep eating junk, drinking excessively and letting your gym membership go unused.
We all deal with challenges like these in our lives. What makes the difference is how you chose to respond and having the right support.
What We Will Do
Over the course of eight months, you will take on an area of your life that you’re seeking to transform. Using the archetypes of the Hero’s Journey, we will offer you a variety of prompts, frameworks, and tools to get you making real and concrete changes in your life.
We will use ritual, dialogue and practice to create a sacred container where you can honestly meet and transform yourself with support and accountability from other men on the path.
