GROW BEYOND DISTRACTIONS AND BECOME A JEDI OF YOUR VISION, MISSION AND PURPOSE

For millennia, men have journeyed into the wild to reflect and connect. Away from the day-to-day grind, nature provides the essential foundations to forge a life of meaning.

YOUR PURPOSE IS YOUR COMPASS IN LIFE.

WITHOUT a compass, YOU ARE adrift AT SEA.

YOUR PURPOSE IS YOUR COMPASS IN LIFE.

WITHOUT a compass, YOU ARE adrift AT SEA.

Can you clearly and succinctly communicate your life purpose, mission, vision, and legacy?

When a man has clarity on these questions, the metaphorical ship of your life (aka your frame) can navigate anything that the ocean of life sends you. They are your guiding compass that provides motivation, direction and meaning.

Without them, it's easy to get caught in the storm of distractions.

Alcohol, drugs, porn, overworking, youtube, food, and codependent relationships may provide immmediate relief but they divert your precious attention from what's most important.

In the absence of elders or mentors to offer guidance, sadly most men never realise their real potential.

FACE THE STORM

WITH MASTERY

FACE THE STORM

WITH MASTERY

You are built to face the storms of life with the presence of a Jedi, yet these qualities lay dormant until practiced.

As men, we are inspired by the Jedi archetype as it represents mastery, focus, and leadership. Yet these aspects of yourself often need the right context to come fully online.

And there is no better context than wild nature.

Removed from the daily distractions of life, wild places provide the perfect environment to dig in and transform your internal chaos from nemeses to close allies.

For millennia, men have utilised wild nature as a training ground for embodying spaciousness and guardianship in their lives.

I GET IT, Life IS challenging

I GET IT, Life IS challenging

For a period of 10 years, my life was a train wreck. I spent years battling stress-induced depression, heartbreak, anxiety, and utter overwhelm. I fought hard until eventually in 2018, I went solo in nature to meet my demons head on.

Those ceremonial days spent alone changed my life completely. I emerged from the depths of my own despair by applying the tools I now share today. I forged my purpose into a mission, vision and legacy statement, and from there, this work was born.

Drawing on 23 years of guiding experience in the Tarkine alongside 22 years of men's work, vipassana meditation, and extensive transpersonal work, it's my mission to support you with these tools and allies to nail your purpose too.

I've spent over 1000 nights in the Tarkine since 2000 when I co-founded the social enterprise, Tarkine Trails. Over 12 years, we ran hundreds of expeditions into this wild place. For me, this landscape is home and it brings me great joy to introduce it to you.

I didn’t know Darvis well before this trip but it turned out to be one of the most transformative journeys in my life. I shifted deep seated patterns within myself, and created a strong framework and sense of purpose for my future. Darvis turned out to be exactly the type of man I needed to do this kind of work: grounded, authentic, deeply knowledgeable, unapologetic, vulnerable, and an epic warrior. I highly recommend working with him!

Sometimes in life, transformation starts with a feeling of unease or a nagging thought. Is this all there is? What I've discovered is that there is a fundamental choice available to all of us. We can either do as we've always done and watch our days being frittered away in a beige existence dictated by external pressures and commitments. Or… we can take a deep breath and stop running for just long enough to leap headlong into an experience to discover the truth and beauty of what's already here.

Darvis has taught me that each of us has a unique purpose to live by; a life mission to fulfil, a vision by which to inspire and a lasting legacy to leave. Darvis's mastery of landscape is extensive and profound. His knowledge of the natural world and its innate order and wisdom is awe-inspiring.

But Darvis's true gift is his unique capacity to take a person to a wild place, far distant from where they live, to finally show them what it is to be truly home. Home at heart.

I cannot overstate the impact this has had on my life trajectory. The journey and relationships born out of it have set me on a new course, one that is truly aligned to my purpose. Darvis is the archetypal guide - deeply intuitive and full of heart and integrity. His gift is his ability to connect men with their own innate wisdom and the wisdom of the wild, while providing support, guidance, insight and ways to engage. From there, the wild takes the wheel. I encourage anyone out there who may read this and feel a stirring in their soul, to follow it and take the leap.

HOW IT WORKS

✅ BOOK A CALL WITH DARVIS

For any man, taking substantial time away from daily life is a big commitment. To assess whether this experience is a good fit for you, you can book a free call with Darvis to connect and get feedback on your current frame. If you decide to jump in, you'll be asked to make your first payment or pay in full. You will then coordinate dates with Darvis.

✅ GUIDED SOLO ON THE TARKINE COAST

The journey includes a five day solo in the middle of the experience. For millennia, men have embarked on the challenge of going out alone into nature. Free of distraction, spending alone time in the wild can be a profoundly life changing experience. ⁠The space provides an opportunity to face your fears, feel what needs to be felt, and build your confidence and capacity to forge the life you want. Solo wild time also builds your embodied resilience to the many obstacles we face in our daily lives. ⁠The more comfortable you feel with the wild, the more grounded and capable you become in weathering the storms of life with mastery.⁠

✅ SUPPORT TO NAIL YOUR LEGACY, VISION, MISSION & PURPOSE STATEMENT

Every business worth its salt has a purpose, mission and vision statement. This business plan is the lifeblood of the organisation. The plan also provides a framework of accountability that a business uses to measure its performance. A sound idea right?

So why don't we apply this principle to our own lives? It seems crazy not to.

From the moment you sign up until two months post-journey, you'll have intimate support from Darvis to nail your life purpose, mission, vision and legacy statement, and integrate them into a daily practice frame. This is the ultimate harvest of the journey - becoming radically clear on who you are, what you want, where you're going, and how to stay on track.

✅ MENTORING oN GUARDIANSHIP & HOW TO STAY ON TRACK

Throughout the journey, you will receive support in developing your own practice of guardianship. Guardianship is the art of fortifying or protecting your purpose so you stay on track and stay resourced on your mission.

Our work together in the wild is the easy part, the real work begins when you get home. The storms of life will still keep raging so it's important that you develop a solid practice of guardianship to keep your ship on course.

Beyond the in-person journey, you also receive 2 months of support for maintaining your frame. Once a month, we will check in together, review your plan, and adjust as needed.

Are you ready to get crystal clear clarity on YOUR VISION, MISSION, PURPOSE & LEGACY?

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON't MAKE THIS MISTAKE!

Most men know that purpose-work is a priority but the incessant nature of daily distractions means that many die without ever grasping it. Whether you join this program or not, don't do that to yourself.

The trap is that we place our mission (the external doing part) before our purpose (the internal being part).

Your purpose lies at the centre of your being. To get to it, you need to make space to be.

Being is hard at first. It requires you to welcome and accept your internal landscape. Being with your inner world requires strong boundaries to keep out the distractions, and a willingness to experience the full range of emotions that storm within us without identifying with them or the running commentary.

But most importantly, you need the space.

You need space to unravel and go to the depths of your fears, grief, love, joy and rage to find the creative spark buried at the heart of your being.

So if you don't join this program, then make sure you forge the space for yourself.

But if you do join, then you'll soon discover that the wild offers space like no other.

Without the daily buzz of phone calls, to-do lists, and other distractions, your nervous system naturally disarms. This is the gift of the wild, it naturally provides you with internal spaciousness by relaxing your nervous system thus guiding you to your core.

INVESTMENT

INVESTMENT

I respect your time and prefer to be straight up about program fees so you can decide whether you're able to continue the conversation. Integrity and transparency are high values of mine so I'd prefer to lay it out for you honestly, than hide the price until the end of our chat.

The cost of program is $1200 per contact day (i.e in-person days on the Tarkine coast). All pre-departure and post-departure mentoring calls, plus your workbook, PDF guide, Gene Keys reading, and everything else listed above is included in this for free. Food and ferry costs are not included.

This is extraordinary value for investment considering that the average 4-day group walking tour on the Tarkine Coast is approx $750 per day, with zero personalisation, mentoring or reflective work. Just walking in nature.

This experience is also not a flash in the pan like most programs. If you put the work in and engage with the Wild Man practice group, your return on investment will be experienced for the rest of your life. The 10 day expedition is really just the beginning.

CASE STUDY: MEET BENNY

Ben Munro (aka Benny) is a barrister from the Gold Coast in Queensland. Ben joined Darvis on the annual Wild Man gathering over New Years in 2021. Benny reached out to Darvis in early 2023 saying he wanted to go deeper into his purpose and fully step into mastering his life map, i.e his purpose, mission, vision and legacy.

On paper, Ben knew his life was already epic. He had great kids, a beautiful partner, a wonderful home. But the problem was he was so busy. The things he loved the most were being neglected and replaced with a six-day-a-week work load. In essence, he’d begun to feel a deep sense of both exhaustion and monotony in the mundane. As if he was stuck in Groundhog Day.

During his solo, Benny found perspective and radical spaciousness. He dropped deeply into the place and chiseled away at everything that wasn’t serving him, emerging renewed and crystal clear about the focus for his life. Benny also faced many life-long fears during his time in the wild and worked closely with Darvis to integrate his discoveries into his new daily routine.

CASE STUDY:

MEET RONNY

In 2022, Ronny was in a tough spot - he was feeling lost, his relationship was on the edge of collapse, and he was struggling to find a clear sense of direction. Despite feeling like he had hit rock bottom, Ronny knew he wanted to take responsibility for his well-being and become a better role model for his kids. It was at this point that Ronny received a recommendation for Darvis's work, and he reached out for support.

Ronny signed up for a 10-day trip to the Tarkine Coast, and it was there that he experienced a radical transformation. Away from the distractions of modern life and immersed in the beauty and power of nature, Ronny was able to confront his fears and rediscover his sense of purpose. Through a combination of physical challenges, deep conversations, and contemplative practices, Ronny was able to shed old patterns and embrace a new way of being.

When Ronny returned from the trip, he was a changed man. He had a renewed sense of purpose, a greater connection to nature, and a deeper understanding of himself. His relationship with his partner improved, and he was able to model a more purposeful and intentional way of living for his kids. Ronny and Darvis remain good friends to this day, connected by the powerful experience they shared on the Tarkine Coast.
