More than mentors...
Here is a list of people I consider mentors, guides, and path walkers. Some I have received medicine and wisdom from in-person, some through online calls, and some from simply digesting their life works/creations. I have learned so much from each person in their respective spaces. Each one will offer you languages, skills, and guidance to discover your own way of being in the world.
Both a remembering of something old and a creating of something new.
My gift, I invite you to explore each of the links below and see what may knock on your door.

Answer the Ancestral Call 🔥
Brothers, the time is now. The Sacred Fire is calling us back—eye to eye, heart to heart—to burn away everything that holds us back from our greatness. We are the descendants of kings, pyramid builders, and masters of time.
It’s time to reclaim our power.
If not now, when?
If not here, where?
If not you, who?

Will You Break Your Patterns…. Or Let Your Patterns Break You?
Men. Can you relate? You want to live a life of freedom and empowerment, with deeply fulfilling relationships and KNOW that you’re inspiring the people around you.
The thing is you just can’t quite achieve that.
Under the pressure to perform, provide and be perfect
Feeling lost, anxious and unmotivated in your daily life
Sick of being the Nice Guy
Constantly editing what you say because you’re worried about being accepted
Fearful and unable to show up as yourself with confidence
Frustrated with the voice in your head that is sabotaging your life and tearing you down
Wanting more out of your relationship but not knowing where to begin
Regretting where you are in life
This doesn’t have to be your reality. All of this stuckness impacts your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
Dr. Martin Shaw
“It is your task to walk back from the vigil with an animal, not a pelt, not a corpse, but something alive. Curate that energy, feed it, don’t domesticate it, make culture from it. It should be walking alongside you, not slung over your shoulder. You build your structures from its growls.”
- Dr. Martin Shaw
