An 8-Week Initiatory Path for Men at a Crossroads
What This Is
Threshold is a rite of passage for men. It’s not therapy. It’s not coaching. It’s a descent and return — a structured, solo journey meant to strip away distraction and bring you face-to-face with what matters:
Who am I now?
What am I carrying?
What must I let go of?
What is asking to emerge?
Over eight weeks, you’ll walk a path of physical action, honest reflection, and meaningful ritual — culminating in a crucible to confront what’s been uncovered.
This isn’t about performance.
It’s about clarity, strength, and self-responsibility.
Who I Am
I’m not a therapist. I’m not a guru. I’m a man who was trained to bring people back.
As a special operations U.S. Air Force Pararescueman, my job was to find the wounded and guide them home. That instinct never left me.
Since then, I’ve swum oceans, climbed mountains, raised kids, burned out, failed, rebuilt — and at every threshold, I found myself searching for something honest to mark the change.
So I built it.
Threshold is the rite I needed. Not to fix me — but to help me face what had to end, and take full responsibility for what came next.
If you’re standing at a threshold, I’ll walk through it with you.
Who It’s For
Threshold is for men facing transition, stagnation, or the quiet sense that something deeper is calling.
You may be:
- A new father, or a dad who feels like he’s falling short
- Moving through divorce or the end of a relationship
- Facing job loss, burnout, or a major transition
- A veteran or first responder carrying what’s hard to name
- Feeling lost, alone, or disconnected
- Craving clarity, purpose, or direction
You don’t need to know where it leads.
You just have to be ready to begin.
What It Involves
Over 8 weeks, you’ll walk a structured path made up of:
- A weekly challenge — physical, embodied, and intentional
- A journal prompt and ritual to integrate what’s stirred
- A small-group Zoom (3 men max) for honest reflection and accountability
- A solo crucible — designed to face what’s been uncovered
You do the work on your own, in your own environment — but you’re not alone.
The arc is clear: burden → mask → letting go → wound → dark → offering → crucible → return
Why It Matters
Traditional cultures understood this:
Men don’t grow without initiation.
And not just once — but again and again.
Adolescence. Fatherhood. Midlife. Loss. Transition.
Each one asks something new of you. Each is a threshold.
Without a rite to mark that shift, men drift.
We get stuck in old roles. We shut down. We perform. We rage or go numb.
We lose contact with something essential.
Threshold brings you back —
Not to who you were, but to what’s ready to emerge.
This isn’t a reset.
It’s a reckoning.
What Makes It Different
There are many men’s groups. Some are helpful.
But few are:
- Solo, but witnessed — You walk it yourself, but you're not alone
- Structured, not vague — Every week builds toward something clear
- Rooted in lineage — Inspired by thinkers like Rohr, Bly, Hollis, Moore & Gillette
- Built in brotherhood — Each passage connects to the men who walked before and leaves something for the next to follow
- Grounded and real — No travel, no plant medicine, no retreat hype
This isn’t about optimization or self-improvement.
It’s about making a real, necessary shift that you own.
A container for what’s ending.
A path for what’s next.
