Men's Work

Our men's events combine spiritual exercises and teaching with practical physical work. They are designed to create space for aligning the mind, body, and heart and are typically characterized by participants as "thin space" or liminal experiences.

​

How do we work? With our brothers as mirrors, we practise with self-remembering, contemplative prayer, challenging physical work, building sacred space, studying spiritual tools and putting them to good use. We sing, we build fires large enough to be sculptural, we feast, we raise glasses of Armagnac.

​

We create for ourselves conditions where we may truly examine the state of our Being. Our men's Work is specifically oriented toward manifesting a shared ground upon which to stand while we ask fundamental questions about life's meaning and purpose and face head-on the pain we shoulder that we are so unwilling to put down. 

 

We are looking for teachable seekers of truth, who want to get after real inner work and show up with a beginner's mind. It's a time to till your own soil, work on who you are, and uncover signposts on the path. There are no shortcuts. No one else can do it for you.​​​​
