The Journey Into Masculinity That You and Your Son NEED To Take Together
What is the UNcivilized Father & Son Initiation?
This is the UNcivilized answer to the drastic decline in young men’s initiation ceremony in the western world.
It’s no secret that young men in the Civilized world today are being “initiated” through social media, porn, and the internet. Fathers who have never been Initiated struggle to find the ways to properly Initiate their sons into a healthy paradigm of masculinity.
Our young men are being cut off from their hearts and their inner power to play the roles they see portrayed from generations before that have landed us in this place of masculine role confusion.
Throughout history, young men have begun their journey into mature masculinity through the power of community, mentorship, challenge, ceremony and with the guidance of the wisdom of their elders.
It’s time for a change to the way young men enter manhood in the west. This is the Initiation that fathers are longing for, and the one that young men don’t know they need.
Here at UNcivilized we believe in the profound power of the father-son bond, and we are committed to nurturing this relationship for the benefit of both the individual and the world.
We aim to empower fathers to be life-long positive role models, mentors, and pillars of support for their sons, and to equip sons with the wisdom and resilience to navigate life’s challenges while remaining true to themselves.
We are driven by the conviction that the initiation into UNcivilized masculinity is not a solitary endeavor but a legacy passed from one generation to the next and the ultimate secret to changing the world.

Starting Tuesday afternoon, June 11th, 2024 we’re taking a group of fathers and sons through a powerful and transformative process using the wilderness, somatic group work, decades of therapeutic wisdom, exploration of your deep nature, and breathwork.
This powerful experience is for fathers looking to unlock the best versions of themselves faster than they ever could on their own, and to guide their sons on the path of masculinity we were never taught as young men.
If you’re reading this and are ready to step into your next evolution as a father and to lead your son through his initiation into fully expressed and healthy masculinity WE WANT YOU WITH US.
For FOUR days and THREE nights in a closed container we will commune as fathers and sons, 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.

Course

Here’s what some of our graduates of our work have told us:
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
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.
This was by far the most unexpected powerful experience of my entire life. Not only did I find myself through this journey, I let go of things no longer serving me, and for the first time, I truly love myself. There are no words in the English dictionary that captures the power of a group of men coming together, ready to do the work. The most inspiring few days that will forever be embedded in my soul.
Life is good again!
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you ready to love yourself and find your renewed sense of purpose? If yes to one or both of those questions then this is where you need to be!
So much love and gratitude to the men at UNcivilized.
