You're good at showing up for everyone else.

Your work, your family, the people who count on you. You've built a life worth being proud of, and you carry it well.

But somewhere in the middle of all of it, you stopped checking in with yourself. Not dramatically. Just gradually, the way it happens to most of us.

You're not looking for therapy, and you're not in crisis. You just know there's more, and you haven't had the space or the right company to go find it.

WHAT WE DO

Built for men who are ready to slow down.

Wilderness retreats, a virtual brotherhood, father-son experiences, and one-day events. All of it comes back to the same thing: honest conversation with men who are doing the work too.

  • "Finding a group of men where the armor can come off was refreshing and enlightening. Life changing. I feel less alone in my feelings about life."

    — Keith, The Retreat

  • "It has assured me that I am not alone, that I an not somehow defective and broken. I have a unique story that has shared strands and themes with my fellow men. There is a peace that comes with that."

    — The Huddle

  • "Aside from the birth of my girls, the most influential experience of my life."

THE PROGRAMS

Four ways in. One direction.

The Retreat

Vermont Wilderness

Five days on 200 acres of Vermont forest with no more than 12 men who came to do the work. Guided hikes, breathwork, long honest conversations, and the kind of quiet most of us haven't had in years.

The Huddle

Virtual Brotherhood

Ten weeks of live conversation with a small group of men, from your own living room. Each week we take on one big topic, the kind men rarely say out loud. The friendships tend to outlast the program.

Launching early 2027

Father & Son

A Retreat for Two

Led by Chris and his son Oakley, for fathers and grown sons who want more than the usual conversation. A few days in the woods to say the things that usually go unsaid.

One-Day Events

Breathwork & More

Holotropic breathwork and other one-day experiences for men. A good first step if you're curious about the retreat, and worth doing on its own if you're not.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

I built Soul Degree because I needed it.

I spent years doing what I was supposed to do and quietly losing the thread on what I actually wanted. It took some honest failures, time alone in the woods, and a circle of men willing to tell the truth before I started finding my way back.

Since 2016, I've hosted over 25 retreats, guided international alumni journeys, and watched hundreds of men walk away changed. Not fixed. Changed. I'm still on this path too.
