Five Immersive Days Exploring The Depths Of Being A Man.
Starting Monday night, April 7th, 2025 we’re taking a group of men through a transformative process using the wilderness, somatic group work, decades of therapeutic wisdom, exploration of your deep nature, breathwork, and the wisdom of horses.
This powerful experience is for men looking to unlock the next best versions of themselves faster than they ever could on their own.
If you’re reading this and are ready to step into your next evolution as a man — fully expressed — released of old wounds and limiting patterns — WE WANT YOU WITH US.
For FIVE days and FOUR nights in a closed container we will commune as men, learn as men, and live as men.
This workshop is not for the uncommitted or the faint of heart. It will challenge you, change you, and change how you walk in the world as a man.

YOUR TEACHERS
TRAVER BOEHM
Traver is a long-time apprentice to the sources of strength and vitality in human beings. He sees that when men get connected to their deep nature, both Primal and Divine, they become connected to the places where real leadership, contact, honesty, and power come from. In this time, Traver will guide you on how to connect to and live from these places inside you.

Duey Freeman, MA LPC
Duey has decades of experience teaching and working with people in a therapeutic context, as well as living in connection with nature and his horses. He has a potent ability to find the simple but profound core of otherwise stiflingly complex issues. In this time, he will take you through teachings and experiential processes to help you uncomplicate yourself and your relationships, and find real ground you can move from.

Michael Gay
Michael’s years of wilderness work and private practice have shown him that many men’s over-reliance on the brilliance of their mind and otherwise valuable skills with self-reliance are often the glass ceilings in men's transformation and healing. In this time, he will support you in waking up other paths to your fullness through work with wilderness, breathwork, and somatic group process.

David Boyd

The horses
Horses are profound teachers. They are mirrors for the ways we show up in the world energetically. They show us what’s at the heart of connection and contact. They help us release the many human ways we overcomplicate or distort the living experience of contact with judgment, language, self-concept, ego, and elaborate ideas. Horses keep things at the heart, and they’ll teach you to do the same.

The Man UNcivilized
Course
This course is how you go from white belt to black belt as a man.
Here’s what some of our graduates of our work have told us:
The UNcivilized Men’s Initiation in Austin was my first deep dive into Men’s work proper, having only joined the UNcivilized Nation a few months prior.
It was terrifying, confronting and edge-testing in all of the best ways and I can't say enough about not only the facilitators (Traver, Duey and Michael), but also the reassuring presence of men experienced in the space and ready to support you on a peer to peer level.
This event has forever changed the trajectory of my life and shown me the power available to us all in genuine relationships with other MEN. Jump on in my brothers...you will not regret it!
–Josh Mercer, BC, Canada
A gut feeling lead me to the Initiation, and I am so grateful I listened.
The leadership there helped me understand and release one of my biggest wounds; taking responsibility for others' wellbeing. I returned to my partner and my community as a beacon of strength and safety, and 6 months later I’m still integrating and learning from my experiences. I was hungry for a way to feel more alive in this world, and the Initiation provided a template for how I want to move forward.
–Jesse Carter, MA
I have been on a journey of sorts for years to find a better version of myself. I was stuck!
In April, I flew to Austin, Texas to spend 5 days on a ranch with 29 men that I had never met before. The idea was to understand what it truly means to be a man in modern times.
Men present themselves as they are over the 5-day event. There is no judgement. It is a time to strip away the masks of who you think that you are to please others or yourself and look for a new balance point. Duey, Michael and Traver lead men down a pathway of identifying the point of imbalance within the participants, owning whatever it is and working to undo the stories that we tell ourselves to deal with it.
Men are supporting men during this process. They step up for each other as they struggle with feeling emotions for the first time in a long time. There is a massive power in the collective male support regardless of the issue at hand.
Take the step for yourself and those that you love and become UNcivilized.
–Chris. M, Los Angeles, NC
I had known for a while that I was suppressing some of my negative emotions — specifically sadness. I had been trying to allow myself to feel and express this, but unbeknownst to me, there was another part of myself keeping me from being able to feel a lot of things in my life. It was only with the support and guidance of the men at the UNcivilized Men's Initiation that the "strong" part of myself was able to step back from a protector role and allow some of these emotions to start moving again.
– David Wenig, WY
As a therapist in training, everything feels new. I am communicating differently. I am listening more deeply. I am learning how to surrender a former desire to control the world around me. I'm relearning the ways in which I navigate in the world. I am releasing a lifetime of feeling isolated and separated from my core nature.
The distance between me and my heart is less every day. UNcivilized has created a roadmap home for me during this time of significant change and growth that I didn't find at school. The leadership here is a rare breed, they practice what they preach. I work with men everyday as clients. My number one recommendation? Attend an Initiation. Now. A miraculous thing happens. Very humbly, life starts over, and doors that once felt closed, begin to open again from being Uncivilized.
