These aren't programs. They're invitations. Each one grew out of something I needed myself — and found to be genuinely transformative.
I came to meditation not as a spiritual seeker but as someone who needed to get out of his own head. What I found was something much bigger than stress relief — a practice for actually being present in your life, not just being swept away by the emotions and churn of your Life.
These sessions are accessible to anyone. You don't need experience, a cushion, or any particular belief system. You just need to show up.
In person — Charlotte, NC: Every other Wednesday evening starting September 2 at Rising Tea & Alchemy in Plaza Midwood. Reach out to get on the list.
Online via Zoom: An 8-week course launching in September. Registration opens late July. Contact me to be notified when it's live.
There is something that happens when people gather with the genuine intention of seeing and being seen — not performing, not competing, not fixing each other. Something opens up. These circles create that container.
Men's Circle at Sacred Roots — Charlotte, NC. An ongoing group for men gathering in honest inquiry. Learn more and join.
Women's circles and online circles are forming. Reach out if you'd like to be notified.
My own initiation work started because I wanted something for my sons that I hadn't had — a real crossing, witnessed and intentional. What we found changed all of us. Right now my focus is on young men: helping them cross the threshold from boyhood into adulthood with intention, community, and the kind of challenge that actually means something.
Suns and Sages (formerly The Joshua Project) — rites of passage programs for young men. If you have a son — or know a young man — who is ready for something real, this is worth exploring.
Programs for other ages and life transitions are in development. Reach out if this speaks to you.
I work with men who are standing at a threshold — between who they've been and who they're becoming — and are ready to make that crossing with intention.
Maybe your life no longer fits — career, relationships, loss, addiction — or maybe just that unnamed feeling that something needs to change and you can't keep deferring it. You might feel overwhelmed by a world that keeps accelerating while something in you is asking to slow down. You're not broken, and you don't need to feel alone. You're at a threshold. That's different.
I'm not here to tell you what your life should look like. But I can help you find out. What I bring to this work isn't a methodology — it's decades of my own crossings: getting sober, losing multiple friends to tragedy, drugs, and disease, losing my parents, the feelings of failure — and right now, navigating my own transition out of a long corporate career. Years in circles where people speak the truth, learning to be honest with myself, plant medicine, the courage to let go of parts of myself that don't serve me, and the slow practice of learning to be present with what is. Earned integrity, not performed expertise. I'm not standing at the other side of the river waving you across. I'm in it too — here's a piece of wood for us to cling to, let's paddle together.
1-on-1 Coaching — in person or online. If this sounds like what you're looking for, reach out and let's talk.
Couples Workshops — developed in partnership with my wife, launching in 2027. Contact me to be notified.
Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose. Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life. — Martha Postlewaite
