The Modern Man's Rite of Passage
THRESHOLD
Cross the Threshold Into The Next Evolution Of Your Life And Leadership
10 Powerful Men
4 Month Journey
8 Day Wilderness Experience
Cross the threshold into the greatest expression of your vision and create the life you love.
WHY CROSS THE THRESHOLD?
Where do your fears and doubts stop you from,
fully stepping into your purpose,
showing up for those you love,
earning money in a more inspiring and creative way,
fully expressing your truth and owning your power?
If you truly knew what you were made of and left nothing on the table, what possibilities would open up for you?
Our threshold is our edge of growth – where we draw a line in the sand and cross into the fullest expression of our gifts and vision, or, continue catering to our fears.

Our threshold is our edge of growth – where we draw a line in the sand and cross into the fullest expression of our gifts and vision, or, continue catering to our fears.
THRESHOLD IS...
a culmination of ancestral wisdom, masculine leadership training, and integrated brotherhood designed to empower modern men to find their edge, become initiated, and unapologetically express their truth and own their power.
By crossing the threshold, a man embodies his vision and is able to bring his gift back to his family, community, and the world.
This enables him to lead with an open heart, be of service, and step into embodied and integrated masculinity...
A rite of passage into his true purpose and the life he wants to live.
"This experience was nothing short of incredible. I’ve gone to men’s retreats before but this was something entirely different and deeper...it was worth 3x more than what I invested.”
Jeremy T. | Trauma Informed Somatic Therapist
WHAT IS A
RITES OF PASSAGE?
A Rite of Passage is a transformational process of mind, body, and soul marked by a symbolic death and rebirth. This death and rebirth transitions us from the end of one stage of our life and into the beginning of another.
We all descend from a legacy of ancestors who practiced nature based, coming-of-age rituals. Rituals that helped boys find their edge and find out what they were made of.
However, most of us today never had one of these ceremonies for ourselves. We lack traditional Rites of Passages and ways to initiate our boys into leaders.
Our lack of initiation from boyhood into integrated manhood in today's society creates a traffic jam in adolescence where boys have become stuck for generations.
We end up with “boys” in grown men's bodies, who have adult responsibilities, who test or avoid boundaries for selfish reasons rather than for the sake of service.
THRESHOLD IS BORN FROM A LEGACY OF RITE OF PASSAGE INVOLVING 3 STAGES
SEVERANCE
The stage where we decide that something will change and uncover what needs to be left behind.
In Threshold, Severance covers the first 2 months of the journey. Your guides will lead you through a series of virtual calls to help you as your process unfolds. You will also receive a tools and resources to help you navigate the Severance process and prepare you for your fasting ceremony.
Severance continues into “Threshold Week”, right up to the moment you begin your fast. Witnessing your process and leaning towards the threshold is all you must do during this phase.
THRESHOLD
The “in-between-worlds” stage of the journey where we enter the cocoon and dissolve our identity, deconstruct our current structure, and prepare for metamorphosis through an ordeal.
Your first step across the threshold marks your completion of this chapter of life, but you are not yet in the next chapter.
This is your time. Your 4 days to connect with that voice of inner truth that’s been speaking all along…only now, you can hear it with all of life’s distractions tuned out.
4 days. 4 nights. Solo in the wilderness.
INCORPORATION
We return from our ordeal and are received by other initiated men who’ve gone before you. This is also where you begin to incorporate the gifts you received– which is a LIFELONG process, and the MOST CHALLENGING.
When you return, your story is witnessed and heard for the first time, and the guides help you to re-acclimate to life at basecamp followed by another series of virtual Incorporation calls for 2 more months.
It is now your mission to live your vision and give your gift in a world that forgot how to initiate.

FAQ SECTION
HOW LONG IS THE FAST?
You are fasting from food for 4 days and nights. You return to basecamp on the 5th morning. However, Threshold week (the in-person portion of Compass) is 8 full days allowing for preparation and integration time before and after your fast.
WHERE DOES THRESHOLD TAKE PLACE?
We are currently offering Threshold on the East Coast (New England Region) of the United States. However, we have a collaboration with Rising Man who offers it on the West Coast as well.
WHAT DO I DO FOR 4 DAYS BY MYSELF?
Every man’s Threshold experience is uniquely his own. Though the guides give you some direction around self-generated ceremony and specific parts of this Rite of Passage that may be powerful, ultimately, you decide. The only thing we know is you will not be eating, reading books, or scrolling social media!
WHAT ABOUT LIONS?
Tigers? And bears!??? – Oh MY! We consider it a blessing to have “visitors” during your fast. We also recognize that you may have a different level of wilderness experience than another man. We prepare everyone who goes out to fast with how to respond to any type of safety issue or challenge you may encounter (including wildlife visitations!) during Severance and the lead up to Threshold. All jokes aside, most animals are not interested in coming into contact with you and at most will usually only observe from a safe distance.
