Cornerstones

David Rubine's Cornerstones program offers a transformational weekend event for men and ongoing support in the Santa Cruz area.

Wilderness Reflections

Dave Talamo's Day Quests and Vision Quests are ideal for men seeking an opportunity to turn to wild nature for guidance and support with life's dilemmas, dreams and questions.

Authentic Man Program

Decker Cunov and Bryan Bayer have put together a solid program for men looking to take their relating with women to the next level, for an alternative to the pick-up artist routines, and for a deeper cut into who they are as a man.

Young Men's Ultimate Weekend

Run by Dr. Mark Schillinger and a team of conscious male volunteers, this weekend program consists of a series of challenging, transformative initiations for adolescent males. Highly recommended.

One of the important benefits of participating in the Awakened Masculine program is the chance to see yourself in a new light. You may be surprised at the clarity and power of the reflections you'll receive from the other men in the group.

Ritual & Ceremony

The Fijian Kava ceremony and rituals from other lineages are a part of the Awakened Masculine program. These rituals serve to deepen the experience of every man in the group, and of the group as a whole.
