WHY ARE WE GATHERING?

Simply put:  The world needs men who are grounded, courageous, and connected. MANiFEST is a call to step deeper into integrity, to co-create a culture of presence and purpose, and to discover together what it means to live in authentic brotherhood. Our goal is to offer a space where men (of ALL kinds) can explore what it means to fully show up: For ourselves, our intimate relationships, and our communities. In a time when so many feel isolated or disconnected, this gathering provides an intentional container for growth, introspection, and liberation. It’s a chance to step away from the noise of daily life and enter a space designed to nurture wholeness. 


The "FEST" in MAN-i-FEST also denotes that we have a lot of fun while we do the work above. Men's work can sometimes feel heavy or pious, so we try not to take ourselves toooo seriously. A mentor of ours once said that "If you want to change the culture, throw a better party." We aim to balance the gravitas with play, celebration, laughter, rest & music. MANiFEST participants can expect to leave the gathering feeling nourished, joyous, uplifted and empowered! Come join us!

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

Daily Sweats w/ Nico Kladis & Alan Ashford

Opportunities to ceremonially sweat will be plentiful. The venue's cedar sauna is luxurious, and group prayer in the bentwood lodge is a primal way to start the day. All levels of clothing and/or nakedness are absolutely honored. 

Morning Forest Gym w/ Ahkua & Dakotah

From 7-8am facilitators will lead vigorous circuit training activities throughout the property. Imagine group stretching, trail running, log lifts, tree climbing, push ups etc. All body types and strength levels are totally welcome.

Fireside Jams & Drum Circles

From sweet group serenades to climactic drumming and dancing,  there'll be ample opportunity to play and push your edges around the fire each evening. Your songs are welcome here, particularly if they invite group participation.

Touch Positive Sanctuary Space w/ Key Ko

Housed inside a 24' bell tent decked out in rugs, pillows, and massage tables, men will be invited into daily somatic ritual. When the space isn't being guided by facilitators, it will be open to independent use by MANiFEST participants.

Song Circles w/ Brian "Yam" Dwyer

Join us in a raucous and beautiful mix of participatory songs led by Bellingham-based song carrier Yambaby. Prepare to have your heart cracked open and your mind blown. All voices welcome.

Sunday Night Family Potluck & Passion Show

 Open invitation to spouses, kids, parents, & partners! Join us in a ritual to welcome back the MANiFEST men at 4pm on Sunday, followed by a potluck at 6pm and activities to follow.
