Journey to Man

A journey of self-enquiry and healing to help you find your most powerful stance in life

You are invited to join a small group of powerful men in journeying to the depths of self and manhood in search of answers to the question “Who am I as a man?” 

With a mixture of video calls and in-person retreat, you will have the opportunity to discover and connect with the source of your identity and power as a man. 

We’ll begin with 2 Zoom calls to engage with questions and prompts which will help cut through the noise and find what manhood means to each of us.

These calls will ultimately prepare you for a weekend retreat among the towering Redwoods of Sonoma County California, where you will embark on a psychedelic journey into shadow and deep wisdom. Follow the path of the Hero as you release what no longer serves, and surrender to what is being asked of you. We’ll support you through this rite of passage and help you begin your return home with powerful practices to support your integration into a new chapter of life.

We’ll ground your experience in 2 Zoom integration calls to explore the new space opening up, and root the insights that come through. We’ll support you in implementing these insights into your day to day life

What does this make available? Discovering your core as a man gives you a powerful place to stand and act as you navigate the complexities of a culture that has largely forgotten the transformational power of soul-centered men.

Meet Your Guides

Jared

(pictured on the left)

I am a soul and nature based coach, consultant, psychedelic journey guide, and program facilitator specializing in helping people and organizations discover and contribute their unique gifts to the world.

Growing up among the Redwood Forests and beautiful rivers of Northern California forged a deep bond with the natural world from a young age. The cycles and rhythms of nature guide me in seen and unseen ways.

I have trained with and worked alongside incredibly gifted teachers in the fields of personal development, nature connection, Soulcraft, and psychedelic medicine work. I weave these threads together in the form of powerful offerings which support people in finding their place in the world and being of service in beautiful ways.

I deeply feel humanity’s transition into a new chapter of life and culture, and the need for new ways of thinking, acting, and being. Partnering with plant medicines has been among the most sacred and transformational experiences of my life. With their support, I have been able to heal deep wounds and harvest the wisdom and beautiful gifts my soul came to this life to express and offer. I am honored to support my clients in doing the same.

I have a special passion for supporting men in navigating the quickly shifting landscape of their role in society and am excited to partner with Jon in offering this work. May it contribute to a more beautiful world.

(pictured on the right)

I’ve been committed to the process of Transformation for 30 years, working in the corporate and non-profit sectors, and now in my own client-focused coaching practice. I offer my skills and experience in service of a course-correction for the human family.

Meeting this moment in history requires two elements: finding the points of highest leverage and addressing them with the most powerful tools at our disposal.

The first element leads me to be working with men. Men who are committed to escaping the limitations of our patriarchal culture so that they can flourish in their own lives and offer their own contribution to our challenged world. Together we can offer a way out of the dominant culture.

The second leads me to offer psychedelic integration to enable us to move beyond the confines of an orthodox worldview and the incessant voice of our culture as it seeks to continue it’s rapacious assault on life and our Planet Home.

I’ve trained in the science of transformation, the art of coaching and the use of sacred medicines. I combine this learning with my own experiences of man-shaped limits and what it takes to escape the confines of the dominant culture.

I’m a Brit transplanted to California, a husband, brother and father, an author, a poet, and a stand for a future worth choosing.

I own a leadership development company and a psychedelic assisted therapy practice. I can’t think of two people better suited to lead men’s work and sacred ceremony than Jon and Jared. They are each an embodiment of the Full-Spectrum Masculine: courageous, authentic, caring, and deeply connected to their essence, feelings, and path of service. They possess both the integrity and kindness that are so needed in today’s world, and are essential for leaders and guides. If you’re curious about what it actually means to be a man in this world and how to use your power for good, you’d benefit tremendously from their mentorship.
