“Roots of the Oak” is a four-hour virtual gathering designed for men/masculine people (or anyone who does not identify as a woman/ or feminine person) who are ready to reframe aging, mortality, and legacy as acts of ritual and power. For those who feel the weight of “heading” a family or community and want to prepare for the day they will cross life’s threshold. Whether you’re navigating a decline in drive, grief over losses, or questions of purpose, you’ll find a container of witness, care, and radical self-sovereignty. Through guided meditations, mythic storytelling, and open-hearted dialogue, we’ll:
Witness vulnerability without judgment— naming fears, loneliness, and shifting drives.
Reclaim the season of elderhood as a ceremony rather than a crisis, stepping into wisdom beyond physical prime.
Forge “anvil plans” (wills, letters, advance directives, and rituals) to protect loved ones and pass on your values.
Build brotherhood by naming our defenders, sharing ancestral guidance, and anchoring our stories in community.
What to Bring
A personal object that symbolizes your relationship with legacy or aging
A journal or notebook and pen
An open heart and willingness to share
