“When the world around you fails to invoke your mythic participation, you must either turn inward, or to a wilderness setting, to spaces that support the revelation of your own depths to you.
Something will begin to burn in you, to find about your own zeal, to find your own destiny, and to live it. Something wants to identify with the consciousness of that which you truly are. Something will want to come forth.”
– Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
“Myths tell us the truth that can’t be told any other way.”
Michael Meade
For 25 years now, we have offered the type of Men’s Journey that will take you where you most need to go – somewhere you haven’t gone before.
An Orientation To The Journey
In 2026, the Men’s Hero’s Journey® will once again provide men with the best of what we have to offer – our summer intensive wilderness journey. This experience will deeply engage the particular needs and struggles men face at essential transitional stages happening in their lives. We intently live into the journey myth of the hero during our wilderness adventure.
The myth of the Hero’s Journey® is an ageless and timeless immersion into the transformative currents of personal and planetary evolution. It calls us away from the familiar horizons of home and habit, and to venture forth into the unknown territories within us. It calls us to the adventure given to us by living into our one true, authentic, and vital life.
“A good hero’s journey® will de-center you. It will move you beyond the dominant motivation that clings to self-preservation at all costs. This is necessary in order to relocate you into a larger and ever more mysterious process of coming alive to yourself.”
Michael Mervosh
“ HJ opened up a new world of understanding about what it means for me to be fully alive. The depth of insight, connection with men, and appreciation for our shared experience is unlike anything I could describe. It’s something every man should experience.

“People say that what we’re seeking is a meaning for life.
I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking.
I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive,
so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
- – Joseph Campbell
