A d v e n t u r e
A four month group training to heal generational trauma, explore beliefs, and align your life in preparation for the biggest job and journey of your life: becoming a dad.
September –– December 2021
Fatherhood is the biggest job we’ll ever have, with monumental consequences –– and yet most of us stumble into it.
We live in a societal paradox where we receive the least education and training around the most important parts of life. This is deeply true for becoming a father.
I consider fatherhood a sacred responsibility, and one of--if not the greatest opportunity for growth and maturity in a man’s life. It is an unending gauntlet that asks to continually step up, sharpen, mature, open, soften, and lead. It brings immense pain and strife, and profound joy and love.
A rare few of us are lucky to have had fathers that modelled love, presence, and leadership. We’ve had to find role models outside the family, and some of us have had little fathering at all. When we become dads we get the gig with little to no training.
The good news is that it’s all workable, and the most important parts of fatherhood are innate and intrinsic inside of you.
Fatherhood Ready is a Rite of Passage to spur and exponentially strengthen your transition into the fullness of maturity. This first cohort will be deeply intimate and very important to me. I see this work as at the center of my mission, and your participation will help shape this program that will affect many men and their families into the future.
W h o t h i s i s f o r
Men who have fatherhood in their sights and plans imminently: You are expecting or attempting to conceive.
Men who are in partnerships where fatherhood is on the table and you are tussling with questions, desires, and timing.
Men who are clear that fatherhood is a deep desire for them in their life, even if it’s not soon.
P r o g r a m I n t e n t i o n s
Get in the ring to heal your inherited trauma. Draw a line in the sand and define what will be allowed in your future family.
Get raw and honest with your fears about fatherhood, commitment, and partnership. Gain practical and profound perspective to both appropriately confirm and ease your fears.
Hear from a cadre of amazing dads about the truth of what fatherhood means, and what it takes. Fatherhood is a shift that you can’t really know separate from experience, but we will get you as far along as possible.
Try on some parts of the job : including sacrifice, overwhelming love, radical responsibility, and the “Lion’s Roar”.
Take stock in your own maturity and growth, and get to work on gaps and places that need to catch up.
Get a headstart on your life’s work, which fatherhood tends to pull out of you.
Have access to peer-mentorship from men who have gone through Fatherhood Unlocked.
Get your shit together. All of it.
Be part of creating a small cohort of men that can be a central place of mutual support in the years to come.
