Crisp morning air. Amazing Autumn colors. Beautiful conversation with great company. Sunday morning walking with these men - these brothers - as the sun burst through the trees was the best way to start the morning. It’s life-giving to set aside the screens and the sports scores and be fully present with friends and the outdoors☀️🍁☕️

In addition to regular monthly gatherings - our WILD MEN Community meets for outings like weekend mornings hikes followed by breakfast at the local diner. We do our work, and we balance with the joy of each other’s company.

I look forward to Fridays because that’s typically the day I offer 1-on-1 men’s guidance and coaching at our Rooted In The Wild office in Eastown Grand Rapids.

I’m reflecting on this past Friday and the honor of holding individual sessions with men in this beautiful, comfortable space. I love individual companion guidance as that is where my own journey began.

My journey to finding authenticity, mission and healthy masculinity started with a simple appointment. Little did I know - that one appointment would change my life. Like most men, I was great at thinking and reasoning my way through things - but I began to learn how to feel through things… to integrate and align my mind with my heart and body for deeper processing, healing, and rediscovering the fire within to thrive rather than just survive. ❤️‍🔥

When I experienced the benefits in my own life, I felt called to continue learning - for myself, but also to help other men, as well as young men coming of age in these times. Now, I blend my experience in psychospirtual transformation, men’s work, soul-centric wilderness immersion, and rites of passage with my degrees in marketing and strategic management - as well as my 20+ years as a corporate business professional. We find wholeness bringing together the primal and practical.

ROOTED IN THE WILD is a practice based on comprehensive wellness, meaningful relationships and reaching our highest potential - founded by my wife, Dr. Mel DeBoer, ND RN and myself. WILD MEN has grown to become an elements of our practice that offers individual men’s guidance as well as empowering men’s community.

If you are man in the Grand Rapids/West Michigan area, visit www.rootedinthewild.org/wildmen to book individual coaching sessions and/or join our monthly WILD MEN Community gatherings. Virtual sessions also available. You can also send me a message with questions or to find out more date/time that works best for you.

Your journey could start with a simple appointment - and I would be honored to work with you.

WHAT’S YOUR ‘EVEREST’ ?

Leo has been part of the WILD MEN Community since day one - nearly 3 years ago. When going through our PATHFINDER program as a group, the process helps each man identify an endeavor they would like to accomplish - an “Everest” - and we hold one another accountable on the journey. Like climbing Everest - you need to prepare in advance for success, you don’t climb it in a day - rather, in realistic stage gates… and you don’t climb alone 🏔️

With several men in our group being part of the local CrossFit gym (Rogue River CrossFit 💪🏼), Leo shared a goal related to exercise, community and joining us at CrossFit. He noted self care, strength and community… and we were behind him 💯%

Leo has more than followed through! He joined the gym and has been putting in the work for more than 18 months. In 2024, I partnered with Eric - another man from our group - for our annual Rumble at the Rogue competition, and we were pumped to win 3rd place. As the 2025 competition approached, I felt called to ask Leo to be my partner - another WILD MEN duo! We put in the work together… we practiced… and after a challenging day of competition, we took 3rd place! Our goal was the podium, and we made it happen! What a full circle moment from PATHFINDER goal to podium🏋🏻

Eric was also on the same podium with his Rumble partner, taking 2nd place! What a moment to have half of the podium be in our WILD MEN Community… and what an honor to be part of Leo’s journey from starting CrossFit 18 months ago to going to battle together and coming away with medals.🏅

This is what WILD MEN is all about. To experience growth through discomfort. To find strength of body AND mind. To build with men who challenge you; who celebrate victory and demand accountability. The men you surround yourself with will be who you become - so take inventory. I am so glad to surround myself with men like Leo, Eric, and the many men who make me better in this community 🔥

Men. In whatever you do this day, this week ahead - find something that anchors you - that brings you back to integrity and impeccability of your word.

Perhaps it’s channeling your inner King archetype and asking yourself “What am I in service to?” or “What would the King do?”

Perhaps it’s just reciting a word that brings you back into awareness - perhaps a word or concept like the one shared above.

Perhaps it’s simply moments of stillness, grounding and your breath.

Be impeccable with your word - both using your word to build yourself, and to build others. Practice strength of mind and body. Find growth by embracing discomfort. Be in integrity, even when nobody is watching. Be the mountain - be nurturing and generative to yourself, your family and community.

Another successful WILD MEN Community gathering has taken place. Following embodiment practices, sharing, and an exploration of concepts such as “Be Impeccable With Your Word”, we savored exquisite cuisine, participated in a fire ceremony, and concluded with a rejuvenating sauna session. I am grateful for these evenings and the camaraderie among these men 🔥.

Visit www.rootedinthewild.org/wildmen to register for our upcoming men’s community gatherings on Thursday, 11/13 and Thursday, 12/11.

Individual coaching and guidance sessions are also available; I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.

WILD MEN is so much more than a men’s community. We’re a family. When one of our men shared that he and his partner were expecting a baby… what we heard was, “You’re all going to be uncles!” This week, we surprised our brother Andrew with a collective gift to help with any remaining needs… because it takes a village. Now more than ever. Grateful for this WILD MEN village, and excited to meet our “nephew” soon!

Men. Confidence is your ace. It’s your differentiator. But a healthy swagger doesn’t come from sitting in comfort. Like anything, confidence grows through adversity. By showing up even if not ready. By confronting and cleaning up what you have been avoiding.

The healthy masculine is about clarity, decisiveness, action and order. And it’s no surprise that we feel a lack of confidence - or we pretend - when indecisive, passive and avoiding.

Find your swag by pursuing hard things, showing up even when uncomfortable, and managing those in managed elements in your life.

Our monthly WILD MEN Community gatherings are sacred. It’s a balance of fun and brotherhood with deep work and growth. With that in mind, I take great care to prepare a space that is welcoming, safe to share, and open to laughter and connection. From hot tea and nourishing food, to a sage smudged container and healing outdoor space - our gatherings are a place for men to show up fully, create new deeper friendships, and reach for our highest potentials - together.

We just held our June gathering, and I’ll be posting the date for our July gathering very soon. If you are a man in the Greater Grand Rapids area seeking this type of empowering community, send me a message to learn more!
