An invitation
Fellow Wild Hearted One…
…thank you for saying “Yes”. It is a rare gift to follow the mysterious whisper that comes from the silence of nature. To walk with great awareness into the shadow of the forest and listen for the answers to the questions yet revealed. And in that place, to divest yourself of the roles thus far played and return to the road of remembrance. I am blessed to walk with you on that road.
For me it was Yosemite Valley in the sunlight, the waterfall 8 miles deep into the Grand Canyon, the juniper and live oak of West Texas mountains, the rainbow that cast itself across the white sand desert in winter. For you, the voice of God/Spirit/Mother Nature will come in its own magical and unexpected way.
Upon the altar, within the sacred circle, beside the fire, you will sit with your brothers and call in the memory of the men who came before you, your elders and teachers. You will invoke within your body their power and spirit, and in that process call upon the courage of transformation. You will take that resilient heart into the stillness and solitude of the great outdoors. When you return, your soul will have touched something brand-new, and I’ll be there to help that brand-new something become a gift to the world around you.
So, will you commit to preparing for the trek? To being fully present on the trail? AND to bringing your gift down the mountain into the world?
A teacher of mine once said that “the tears of men will heal the world” and to that I add – “only if we let the world see them”. It’s time to open our hearts, to raise up our voices, and to access the full masculine potential within us. It’s time to become a Bolder Man.
In Service,
Adam
My story
From a young age, I felt the call to understand what it truly means to be a man. At thirteen, I began asking, “Where are men like me?”—men who could be both strong and sensitive, grounded and kind. That question became the quiet heartbeat of my life’s work.
In my twenties, the search turned spiritual. I devoted myself to meditation and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, exploring what it means to live as a servant of love. Yet even in the stillness, another question arose: “How do I fully arrive and serve my people?”
At thirty, I entered the world of men’s work and leadership through the Mankind Project, where I experienced—for the first time—what it felt like to be truly seen, held, and supported by other men. Over the next eight years, I led retreats and men’s circles across Texas and the West Coast, serving more than a hundred men on their journeys toward wholeness.
In 2024, a meeting with a father and son—Alok and Sequoia—brought my mission into focus. Witnessing their raw, honest love reminded me why I began this path: to heal the space between fathers and sons.
Today, I help men and boys reclaim their voice, integrity, and capacity for connection. I ask, “Do you want to love and be loved more completely?”—and invite them to live their answer, preparing a new generation of young men to step forward with confidence, authenticity, and heart.
