dear brother,
The era of the lone wolf is over. We no longer need to shoulder the weight of the world on our own. It is time to lay it down, and let the strength of brotherhood hold us once again. Since the beginning of time, men have gathered in circle—tending fires, praying, dancing, hunting, and working side by side. Community and Brotherhood is the medicine that has always carried us through hard times.
wild beauty farm’s FIRST ALL MEN’S GATHERING - “MEN’s campout” - is a return to that way. A chance to step away from the daily grind and reconnect with what matters most to you. Together we WILL remember and celebrate who we are when rooted in the land, each other, and something deeper.
The Work
Fears + Prayers: We begin with two questions—What are your deepest fears? What are your deepest prayers? Fears are given to the fire. Prayers are carried into the sweat lodge.
Warrior Training: fire tending, foraging, survival skills. The old ways every man once knew.
Nature Connection: Awakening the five senses—smell, taste, touch, sound, sight—until we are fully present, alive with the land.
This work will help us face the storms ahead with calm, to lead our families with strength, and to walk with clarity in a world that asks more of us as men, fathers, and leaders.
The fire is lit. The circle is open. We are calling you in.

This is for the man who’s ready to take off the mask. For the man who’s been carrying too much, alone. For the man ready for real connection—with himself, with other men, and with something greater. For the man who wants to lead with integrity, love more fully, and stand rooted in who he truly is.

This is a co-created gathering—a circle of men bringing their gifts, stories, and grit. All participants will contribute to the collective energy of this gathering which pillars are held by the following men.

Rituals of Man gatherings are co-created spaces of activated men — each one bringing his stories, gifts and grit to the fire. We gather as a call for freedom, truth, connection and joy in our lives and the world. Together, we remember our purpose and blaze our path.
We meet in honesty.
With sacredness.
With presence.No lecture.
No advice-giving.
No fixing.
