Choose Your Journey
This work is not for the faint of heart. It’s for men ready to show up — for themselves, and for each other. We’ve designed three ways to step into the mountain together. Each one is a commitment to healing, to brotherhood, and to becoming more whole.
I want to be as transparent as possible. This event is very personal to me.
I do not take your financial commitment lightly. If you EVER have questions or concerns, you're ALWAYS welcome to text or call me directly at 385-247-1212 or email me at [email protected].
I've built this program from the ground up because I know — too many men are suffering in silence. If you’re here, it means you’re ready to be part of something different. Something deeper.
I’m humbled you’ve found your way here. Let’s band together and take our rightful place as fathers, brothers, sons, and men in our communities.
I’m looking forward to hearing your story.
I’ll see you on the mountain.
— Roy
