Need a Rite of Passage?

Who is this for? 🔥

You have reached a turning point in your life. You know the old way of living no longer fits, but the next step is not yet clear. Many men who joined are entrepreneurs, professionals, seekers, re-starters or burned-out achievers who have gone through an awakening, a breakdown, or a period of deep questioning. You may have gained insight, perspective, or spiritual understanding, yet still feel ungrounded, fragmented, or unsure how to move forward in a concrete way.

This is for men who are ready to stop drifting and take responsibility for their life, their choices, and their direction. You don’t need to be “fixed,” confident, or certain, but you do need to be honest, willing to be challenged, and open to stepping out of your comfort zone. If you are ready to confront what has been running you, integrate what you’ve avoided, and claim a more authentic and grounded way of being, this initiation may be for you.

What you’ll leave with 🌱

You will not leave with a ready-made life plan or a new identity to perform. What you leave with is orientation. Through the work in the forest, many men experience a clearer sense of inner authority, less inner noise, fewer competing voices, and a stronger ability to stand behind their own decisions. You may notice a deeper calm in your body, a more grounded relationship to fear, and a renewed trust in yourself.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of what no longer belongs in your life, and a felt sense of what you are ready to take responsibility for next. For many men, this includes a clearer connection to their unique strengths and the way they are meant to contribute or serve. The initiation does not end your work, but it sets a new axis. From there, movement becomes simpler, choices more honest, and the path forward easier to walk.

Your Guide 🌲

Marc knows what it means to build, to burn it all down and rebuild.

For years, he lived the fast-paced life of a startup entrepreneur. As a co-founder and business strategist, he was immersed in lean models, scaling ventures, and helping others optimize their way to success. On the surface, it worked. But underneath, something essential was missing; a deeper sense of purpose, aliveness, and connection.

After his life abruptly fell apart and he lost everything, including the identity he worked so hard to build, he decided to go back to basics and learn survival. To literally know how to survive with nothing instills the incredible feeling of empowerment, knowing that you can lose everything and always rebuild. No matter what.

After a life-changing experience in the forests of Sweden, Marc made a radical choice: he sold his business in the Netherlands and walked away from the life he knew. Not to retreat, but to allow rebirth. He spent several years living close to the land. Studying survival, guiding others into the wild, and slowly piecing together a deeper understanding of trauma, needs, and the gift each of us is here to offer.

Today, Marc still lives in the middle of the forest, not to escape the world, but to offer the same experience to others. He guides men back to what they’ve forgotten; Through fire, silence, wilderness, and honest work. His mission is simple: to help others remember who they are and what they’re here to do.
