IAN MACKENZIE

Something cracks in a man as he moves through his late thirties and into his forties. The career he spent years building starts to taste like ash. The drive that got him here goes flat. The persona he's been showing the world - reliable, capable, together - stops fitting the man underneath.

Most men find one of two exits. Some double down: work harder, stay the course, wait for the feeling to pass. Others bolt the other direction - chasing what felt alive in their twenties. Both make sense. Neither touches what's actually happening.

What if the crack isn't a malfunction - but a signal from the soul that a man's midlife passage has begun? This workshop weaves archetypal psychology and mythopoetic storytelling, dyad work and somatic exploration into what this chrysalis is asking of you - and the soul medicine you were born to bring.

IAN MACKENZIE

 is a filmmaker, mythosomatic guide, and the founder of The Mythic Masculine - a platform devoted to stewarding the soul work of men.

For two decades, Ian has tracked the emergence of imaginal culture - from the fires of Burning Man to the streets of Occupy Wall St - amplifying the voices of visionaries, artists, and wisdom keepers working toward a more regenerative world. A 15-year scholar of the Orphan Wisdom School, and a four-time pilgrim to the Tamera peace research community in Portugal, he has dedicated himself to expanding the terrain of what men's inner work can be: weaving ritual, ancestral story, and somatic reclamation into a living path toward sovereign purpose.

He is the co-founder of The Deep Masculine Journey, a 12-week initiatory program for men, and the host of The Mythic Masculine podcast. His films include Sacred Economics, Occupy Love, Amplify Her, and The Village of Lovers. He lives on Vancouver Island with his partner and son.
