Our approach to learning
We are not gurus imparting wisdom.
Rather we are curators and facilitators of an approach to learning that enables insights to emerge. We create a learning space for you to explore what’s on your mind in the company of a caring group of guys. This approach allows each of us to choose what we want to dig into and how deeply we want to go.
We believe that you are the author of your life's story. As facilitators and coaches, we ask questions, offer observations, and serve as thought-partners as you write your next chapter.
We believe in the power of place as a tool for growth. Our retreats take place in simple, beautiful natural settings, mostly free from technology and distraction, to ground us and to inspire us to imagine new possibilities.
We combine mental and emotional elements such as conversations, journaling and reflection with invigorating physical elements including challenging hikes and gentle yoga to help us process and distill our experiences.
