What The Fellas Say

  • Peter

    "Men of Depth was an incredible experience. It gave me the chance to connect with an amazing community of guys, share some laughs, and dive into what healthy masculinity really means. The program helped me reflect on my values, embrace growth, and focus on becoming the best version of myself. I left feeling more grounded, confident, and ready to show up in the best way for my friends, loved ones, and the people who matter most in my life."

  • Stefan

    “MoD has benefitted me by providing a closed venue to sift through challenging situations or release some pressure on stressful topics you don’t want to bring home. It also gives you the chance to support other men who may be navigating turbulent waters and need support. Giving and receiving input, feedback or just a sympathetic set of ears is why I keep coming back for more sessions.”

  • Scott

    "I honestly believe that this has been one of the most beneficial things that I have done for my mental health... If you are considering joining a program like this and are not sure it is for you, I was the same way. It was such a foreign concept for me. I am so glad that I took the plunge and can’t imagine anyone joining it and walking away with any regrets."

  • Phil

    "Davis and Erik have built something that is both unique and powerful. The strength training and workouts are hands down the best preventative maintenance that I have done to deal with long term injuries. Similarly, the space they have created to strengthen the mind, while building a sense of community and support is truly special. I would recommend this to anyone who is willing to step towards physical and personal growth."

  • Davis Cowles

    Davis is a Life, Breath & Mvmt Coach with a passion for men’s work, and a deep background in wilderness-based leadership education.

    He’s inspired by a vision of the world in which men lead from a place of grounded wholeness, heartfulness, humility, and commitment to service.

  • Erik Wardell

    Erik is a father, mindfulness guide, men's work facilitator, and mental health educator with a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling.

    Guided by love, trust, and beauty, he is unceasingly curious about the human experience and has dedicated his time here to helping people make the most of this little miracle we call life.

FAQs

So, what will we actually be doing?

Session structure will vary based on what is most alive for us as a collective. Each session will likely include some combination of prompted discussion, mindfulness, peer mentorship, coaching, and embodiment practice (Yoga, Qigong, breathwork, etc).

What if I can’t make all the sessions?

A few absences is ok, but we want men willing and able to prioritize this group. We ask that you only commit to this group if you can make a minimum of 7/10 sessions.

So, what am I actually paying for?

What's the cost of not living up to your potential in this life? When you enroll in MOD, you are investing in an intentionally crafted process of self-discovery that will help you step into your life, community, and relationships in a deeper, more meaningful, and authentic way. 

*If you show up to the minimum number of sessions and participate thoroughly but do not get your money’s worth, we’ll give you your money back!

Do you offer scholarship pricing?

We will be offering a scholarship to two participants on an application basis. Email us to inquire about this option.

How many men will there be in the group?

In service of depth, this group is capped at 14 men plus facilitators.

How do I know if this is a good fit for me?

Ultimately, that’s your call. We encourage you to feel into your intuition to gauge if you are ready for this process. If you’re on the fence and want to know more, reach out to us to set up a time to talk.
