I’m in awe of how us humans have learned to adapt to nature so well that we can now control the temperature pretty much everywhere we are. It’s remarkable. On these trips I also learned that we have the ability to adapt and thrive in really uncomfortable situations. The safety procedures and the skills were actually the easy part. Most all of us can learn how to layer clothing, build a fire, work together, etc., but the harder skill set is all internal.
This weekend men's workshop is for high-level men's work practitioners and initiated men to deepen their facilitation skills and become powerful leaders of men's groups and workshops. Experience in our Open Source or other men's programs is helpful but not necessary. Experience with deep inner work, group process, and somatic healing modalities are also great prior experiences that will allow you to dive right in. This weekend is the prerequisite to assist at our Evryman Open Source Retreats and Expeditions. If you are called to lead, for yourself, your family, and specifically in the community of men, this training is for you.
The workshop is a deep dive into both leading and experiencing somatic and emotional transformation while being supported and challenged by Owen Marcus, Dan Doty, and a few other senior community members. Where our Open Source weekends involve outdoor and social elements, this weekend will be an intensive and consistent exploration of how far our protocols can take us. There is a cap of 24 participants and this large group will be split into 2 groups of 12 for the majority of the weekend. Each man will have ample time to facilitate the rest of the group, ask questions, and dive into his own personal growth. It is a very intense and beautiful weekend.
-Every man leaves having a life changing experience and great personal growth
-Every man leaves with an expanded emotional and somatic tool belt
-Every man leaves with the ability and confidence to lead a men's group in a deep and powerful way
-Every man leaves with clarity on how to bring this into day to day life

Leader, EVRYMAN
Owen Marcus realized after healing much of his dyslexia and Asperger’s Syndrome he was still disconnected from his emotions and others. With resistance, he started his first men’s group in 1995. From there he went on to design a new model of men’s groups and how men successfully connect emotionally with others. Owen lives in the forests of Sandpoint, ID, with the local bears and moose.
