Starting on Wednesday night, August 16th, 2023 we’re taking a group of men just like you on a personal journey to become

the man the world failed to teach you how to be.

If you’re reading this and you’re tired of apologizing for being a man or are confused as to how to express yourself in the world as a man— WE WANT YOU WITH US.

For FOUR days and FOUR nights in a closed container we will commune as men, learn as men, and live as men.

This workshop is not for the uncommitted or the faint of heart. It will challenge you, change you, and change how you walk in the world as a man.

Are you in?

Testimonials

Hear what our past participants have to say about their experience at the UNcivilized Initiation.

 
I know what you're thinking...

“It sounds great in theory, but is it really possible?”

Can you really...

  • Release yourself of society’s baggage around what it means to be a man and live without apology
  • Radically shift your experience and that of those around you by deeply embracing the primal within you
  • Connect to a power beyond yourself to gain guidance, wisdom, and connection
  • Learn how to be a beacon of safety for yourself and those around you
  • Free yourself from past traumas and deeply buried pain so you can breathe again
  • Confront the ways you’re numbing, avoiding, and running from what scares you the most — YOUR POWER
Oh yes, you most certainly can.

Here’s what some of our graduates of our work have told us:

Placeholder Image

I can put my life into two chapters — before and after meeting Traver Boehm. His guidance has shifted everything drastically. I am the man I am today because of him and his teachings.
–J.R., Los Angeles, CA

One day I picked up a copy of a book with a gorilla on the cover and my life has never been the same since. I know this because I’m still alive and I’m still married, two things I’m not sure I’d be having not found Traver and his work.
–S.L., Boulder, CO

Placeholder Image

I am incredibly fortunate to have had Duey as a teacher and mentor! His unconditional acceptance, soulful honesty, strength, warmth, and unique teachings not only influence my work with clients but also have made me a better mother, wife and human. Duey walks his talk and opens his heart. He helped me be developed instead of damaged by my personal challenges. If anyone out there has an opportunity to work with Duey Freeman – do it! His way of being is transformational and he changed my life!
–Katy S.

Sitting across from Duey Freeman is the closest I have come to seeing myself as I am and who I would like to be as a man. His presence is that of a sentinel tree, deeply rooted with branches forming a vast embrace, a beacon in the landscape of a battered world.

Placeholder Image

Michael has the gift of finding the deepest part of a wound and holding an exquisite, loving space while it gets released. I’m incredibly grateful to have found him.
–Perry R, Boulder, CO

I contacted Michael while going through a divorce and his work with me on the land got my feet back under me and helped me feel sane. I can count him as one of very few people who helped me navigate a truly trying situation.
–Robert B, Denver, CO
