For the last three retreats the majority of men are returning participants, many of them have been to an entire handful of Reclamations.

Why? Isn’t the point of an “initiation” to do the thing and move forward?

The reason is because these men understand that they can always go deeper. That healing and growing isn’t a one time deal and should never be. That we are in a practice of healing our inner boy’s, liberating our expression, and cultivating resilience among many others.

These men are coming back to meet their next threshold, to get the reset on the nervous system, and above all to connect with nature and the men that rise to this occasion.

This is the largest symbol to us that we are on a great track with the work we are providing. Men are coming back, offering feedback to improve the experience, and inviting their friends.

The community grows not because of marketing skills(we are learning) but because men find more than just growth, they find brotherhood, and want to share this with the men they care about.

If you're ready to join a weekend that will press you against your unique threshold of growth, expand your Magician, and tap you into an incredible community of men, join us.

May 15th-18th a three hour carpool from Vancouver. Rides and payment plans available and we have only ten days left on early birds.

Check the details on our site, link in bio, or dm “RECLAMATION” to book a call with Vern to answer any questions and see if this experience is aligned for you.

What is your dream life?

Is it, cars, followers, being a player?

Society pushes so much at us men to be able to sell us on their idea of success.

But we think success lies in our sense of connection. Connection to ourselves, to our partners, and families. Connection to the earth and a sense of purpose to take care of nature.
Connection to community and friends that have your back.

This is our dream life, and we are creating it. Not just in our own lives but by coming together to explore as a team how we can create a culture of healthy integral men in our greater neighborhood.

Expansive man events are coming back in full swing with weekly workouts+men's work in April. Our first level 2 training for other men to start running their own events in May.

Then of course our bi yearly modern day initiation Reclamation May 15-18. An intensive experience that meets men where they are at in building greater depth, confidence, and resilience.

If you are in BC and this way of life resonates with you, let’s get connected.

In a world of continuous chaos, community is more important than ever.

Men coming together to embrace gratitude, resilience, and mutual support.

Cutting away the distractions of fear and phones so that we can focus on what we can actually challenge.

Being grounded for our families, focused on our mission, aware of our impact. Responding from a clear heart instead of reacting from fear.

A new season of Expansive Man is coming soon. One that lasts all year long.

Let’s come together…

Final evening to save extra on Reclamation May 15-18❤️‍🔥

You are invited by Mumsi our elder, by us, by the woman, and the children. By all the people who desire to see you live life to the fullest, and hold an energy of safety in every room you stand.

This four day intensive won’t change your entire life in a weekend. Yet we have watched many men’s lives completely shift through integrating the lessons of this weekend and continuing to connect with men that uplift and call them forward.

Are you ready to join us?
DM “3YEARS” before midnight to lock in the savings, the.we’ll tune in with any questions and make sure this experience is right for you.

Grateful to walk beside you❤️‍🔥⚔️

Three years next week is when this brotherhood started🙏

When one single event sparked the flame that has brought hundreds of men together to meet each other eye to eye in the purpose of supporting each other to grow within themselves and connect as a pack, rather than lone wolves.

Over these three years we’ve learned a lot. As individuals, as a team, as a community. We’ve made mistakes, had ruptures, gone through hardship as individuals, but yet are still here, stronger than ever. Which gives us the confidence to bring forth the next chapter of EM.

We see the vision of how this work will go beyond events and expand into a community that feels like a village. A community network, youth initiations, co-ed spaces to learn and grow where everyone feels safe, and empowered to meet their edge.

This vision is something that we can’t jump to, it’s something we must move towards with grace.

So in this next chapter of 2026 our goal is to have more regular events, and focus on giving more opportunity for many newer facilitators among us to hold the space so we may broaden the foundation of our community. It’s time to grow, we are calling on you and our growing leaders to build this.

To give this growing foundation a home our first announcement of this new year is that we are launching our new site this Sunday along with a sale on tickets for the next Reclamation to celebrate. We plan to make it our largest event yet with two teams of 30 and would love you to be there.

We launch at 6:00pm Sunday and are excited to show you the new hub❤️‍🔥

Rise: The Embodied Masculine
January 3rd 12-5pm at the Vancouver

This collaboration between Expansive Man and Somatic Embodiment Academy is a 5-hour intensive for men to initiate their year ahead.

Led by Lion Carew and Tom Woods, you will be guided to see your full potential for 2026, to name what has been blocking you from already living it, and to meet those blocks with courage.

Through men’s work practices and embodied leadership work, you will step into the Warrior to face the wound that has been holding you back, and claim your authority as King.

Then we will bring it all to the body, integrating through a conscious connected breathwork circle.

Join us and begin the year grounded in brotherhood, embodied courage, and a clear sense of direction❤️‍🔥

Happy International Men’s Day

For many men, this day brings mixed emotions.
In a world where men are often portrayed through the lens of past harm, it can feel confusing, or even uncomfortable, to celebrate who we are.

But today is an invitation.

An invitation to stand in the light.
To remember that healing doesn’t come from hiding, apologizing for existing, or shrinking our essence. Healing comes from owning the fullness of who we are. Our gifts, our hearts, and the parts we are still learning to integrate.

You are not to blame for wounds of the world, but you are responsible for how you choose to walk now. When you own who you are you cultivate the leverage to not only enjoy your life, but to be of service to a better world.

When men choose ownership instead of avoidance…
When we listen deeply through unclouded hearts, to the earth, to women, to children, to our own bodies…
When we stand as teammates instead of rivals…

We become the kind of men who help communities heal.

And right now, more than ever, the world needs men who walk with grace, strength, humility, and love.

So today, we honor you.
The men doing the work.
The men choosing growth over numbness.
The men reclaiming their power for the good of all.

Keep going. Keep choosing the path.
You are not alone❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥

Happy birthday to our brother Aya!🙌❤️

This man is such an inspiration of what it means to let spirit guide the way.

Thank you for being a teacher and example of what it means to live life as a ceremony. To learn from so many different traditions, holding them with reverence and respect, and then integrating them back into your bundle and work and share them with integrity.

You are an incredible man, and it’s an honor to learn, love, and serve alongside you❤️‍🔥⚔️🐻🦅

Reclamation: Warrior⚔️ Early Bird Opportunity Ends Aug 18th

Join us September 18th in doing the reps of deepening into who we are.

This isn’t for you if need “healing”, it’s for men who want to actively train in becoming more of who they are.

These weekends act as a forge for you to bring to light the ways you show up through fear, and a training ground to practice showing up in liberation.

It’s a place to bring together men who want to lead their lives through their heart rather than societal validation. So you can create and deepen friendships with men who align with your values and enrich your life.

Finally it’s a community you be seen and held accountable by. So you can be supported in stepping back out into the world in a new way. Making the shifts and holding to the process of integrating them.

This fall we’re focusing on boundaries, mission, and our relationship to death.

Join us for the growth, the laughs, and the connections.

Reclaim your power as a warrior in a new world as we learn side by side to walk with peace, purpose, and passion.

Event link in bio, early bird rate -$200 ends August 18th
