Are you
man enough?
No, I am not here to question your masculinity. I am here to support you in redefining what it means to be a man today.
In a world that’s constantly trying to fit you into a box, we’re here to break the mold. Men are expected to be strong, stoic, and in control at all times. Expressing vulnerability, emotions, or deviating from these predetermined norms is often seen as a sign of weakness. This can lead to men feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unable to fully explore and embrace their authentic selves.
It’s important to detect and transform the subconscious mechanisms men needed to install over centuries to fit into the system.
My work will offer you a spacious and compassionate inner container, helping you to explore and understand your sub- conscious Hinterland. You will be guided through 10 modules in a 4-months intensive program serving you as a trail guide to climb the “mountain of self-awareness”.
This journey involves questioning and unlearning harmful beliefs, exploring one’s own values and desires, and embracing a more inclusive and compassionate version of masculinity.
Our work together will help you…

An Intensive Programme &
A trail guide to climb the mountain of self-awareness
My 1:1 Work with you
“Think of the mind as a snow-covered hill and your thoughts as sleds going down that hill. Over time, the more runs of the sled, the deeper the grooves. It becomes very hard to go down the hill without getting drawn into the grooves. They become attractors.
Think of the psychedelic experience as a fresh snowfall that fills all the grooves and allows you once again to go down the hill, along another route, any route you want. (- Michael Pollan)
I help you to stay on track. I will help you to see where you are in the process, to unpack your unconscious patterns, question your believe systems, fears and doubts. Together we will have a deeper look into the story you tell yourself, detect areas where you are not present, disconnected from yourself and others.
Creating new grooves is an act of awakening. At the beginning this feels uncomfortable, as we enter uncharted territory. The mind wants to go back to what is familiar. In the process we come across doubts (Why should I change, it’s actually working?). We forget (Everything else is more important). We numb (Working too much, running, avoiding stillness).
I help you to stay awake, present, committed and present in your process.
Going Beyond
Sometimes we hit a wall and have difficulties to overcome inner limitations. Micro-Dosing will help to cut through difficult material, to feel the feelings, to experience on a cellular level. You will work through your resistance or frozenness by opening your heart and connecting to suppressed feelings. This will create the energy needed to drive deep change and healing leading to profound transformation.
Sometimes we need to step out of our own system and witness from a distance. Through expanding your awareness you will experience a more spacious container in which you have the possibility to change perspective. Together we want to rebuild your inner makings so that you can move more effortlessly move from your current state to your next unfolding.
Sitting in a Circle of Likeminded Men
Never underestimate the healing power of a sharing circle.
The thought of sharing in front of other men might seem uncomfortable at the beginning but very soon you will appreciate how much you learn about yourselves while listening to others. We are all in this together. What you might struggle to express, even put your finger on, might be expressed with ease by the brother sitting next to you.
A circle enables deep transformation and will change the way you relate in general. It helps us grow a more generous, compassionate and tolerant heart.
We are organising circles making sure that your privacy is respected, that you feel safe and seen. We are co-creating these experiences with your help, making sure that all your needs are met, your boundaries respected and your voice heard.
A circle helps us to tap into the intelligence of the collective, to get a better sense of the “system” we are all a part of. Together we will detect the underlying conditioning which shaped our view of reality and often limits our capacity to see the full picture.
Co- Creating a World we know is Possible
While we explore, heal and grow we can feel alone. You might have entered a new phase in your life. You woke up, your recent experiences made you see things differently, but your close circle is still the same and you have difficulties to relate to their point of you or way of living. You might see things differently, become aware of toxic relationships you silently accepted and feel the need to have a conversation with other fellow seekers.
The Band of Brother Community is a place where you can connect with other men who are going through the same.
You will have the opportunity to access interesting material (books, podcasts, articles) exchange opinions, get advice from other men, give advice to other men and feel connected and inspired by a community of fellow mountain climbers….
Your Journey into the Depth of your Unconscious
An intentionally guided journey into an expanded state of consciousness is the fiercest, most honest way to explore the roots of suffering. It brings you face-to-face with your psychological wounds and the way they appear in your body as tension, numbness and dissociation.
The experience will amplify what you need to see (and try not to), it will help you to detect what is actually driving your decision making, view of reality – your life!
You will be able to connect the dots in a new and often surprising way. You will be able to tune into other people and understand how they perceive reality, themselves, you, their life.
Our preparation is thorough and a work of precision. We will take the time to turn every stone, to ask questions, to set clear intentions.
An inner journey encompasses the multi-layered experience of a human life. We can reach the undiscovered corners of our psyche in a way that still remains unmatched by other therapeutic modalities.
The Book called: My Life
Working with psychedelics and writing go hand in hand. You can access your subconscious through writing and you will access deeper layers of your psyche by developing a consistent writing routine.
We will also write together. We summarise your sessions, describe breakthroughs, explore a topic together. We will write a letter to clear the field with somebody you have difficulties to communicate with.
At the end of this program, you will own pages of wisdom enabling you to get a real sense of the road we travelled together.
For each of us guys, life unfolds in different ways. It’s a grand experience, full of joy, achievement and adventure. But for each of us, questions will arise, particularly as we hit the maturity and the challenges of middle age, or as life starts throwing us curve ball after curve ball.
New
Masculinity?
What Brothers Say
Why Me? The Female Gaze
For The Love Of Men
What I have experienced in my work with men over the years, is a strong disconnection from their feelings, confusion around the emotional world, bypassing by numbing or avoiding and a strong focus on the intellect versus intuition and embodiment.
I am inviting you to participate in a project which is ambitiously envisioning profound change within four months.
The intensity is needed to keep the attention and energy on the new way to go, establish new possibilities and integrate a new way of thinking and feeling.
I feel a passionate longing to further explore the human operating system – not only to better understand how we could possibly end up in this terrible mess but also to find solutions to get us out of it.

Pathfinder – Event 1 – Wednesday, April 17th
Going Deep With Psychedelics. An evening to delve deep into the nature and modalities of Psychedelic Work. We will unpack the nature of Personal Work; in particular how psychedelics help us gain deeper insights about ourselves and how we show up in the world.
We would like to invite you to an evening of sharing and community with fellow men to delve deep into the nature of Deep Inner Work.
Pathfinder – Event 2 – Wednesday 19 Jun 2024
“No society can understand itself without looking at its trauma and shadow side. All of the diagnoses that you deal with – depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar illness, post traumatic stress disorder, even psychosis, are significantly rooted in trauma. They are manifestations of trauma.” (- Gabor Maté)
We would like to invite you to an evening of sharing and community with fellow men to delve deep into the nature of Trauma.
Pathfinder – Event 3 – Wednesday 25 Sept 2024
The Shadow comprises the personality traits and thoughts you wish you didn’t have—your “darker” side. Think of the Shadow as anything that is holding you back in life (trauma, perceptions, insecurities, etc.) Shadow work is the act of uncovering, acknowledging, and under-standing the parts of yourself you instinctively want to suppress.
We would like to invite you to an evening of sharing and community with fellow men to delve deep into the nature of Shadow work.
