Men's Rite of Passage
Mountain Expedition. Medicine Ceremony. Men’s Work.
summer 2026
There's a fire in you that your everyday life keeps smothering.
You feel it sometimes: in the wild, in a moment of real silence, in the rare conversation that goes past the surface. You know there's a version of you that's more alive than this. More present. More rooted.
But you don't know how to get back to him.
That's what this is for.
This isn't a vacation. It's not a workshop with a mountain backdrop. It's a rite of passage: a structured crossing from one version of yourself to another, held by ancient land that has been doing this work for centuries.
You'll leave different. The men who've done this work with me don't come back with insights. They come back with a different posture. A different presence. Something in the chest that wasn't there before.
"It was an amazing experience working with Ish. I was at a place in my life that I was going through a pretty significant change, and this work had a significant impact on me. I feel this sense of confidence in myself and sense of clarity in terms of where I'm going in my life and with my path. That has been pretty profound and also a lot of spiritual insights that came up that I'm still working through and still understanding what they really mean for me. Highly recommend doing this work with Ish.”

The full experience
the preparation
2 Group Calls Pre-Expedition
Before you step foot on the mountain, we prepare you. Not logistically — internally. We identify what you're bringing with you: the armor, the wounds, the unfinished business. We get clear on what you're crossing from. These calls are where the real work begins.
the expedition
7 days in peru
Days 1–2: Arrival & Severance Land in Cusco. Meet your brothers. Leave the familiar behind.
Days 3–6: Ausangate Circuit Four days trekking around one of the most sacred Apus in the Andes. The land does what words can't.
Days 7–8: Machu Picchu + Huachuma Ceremony With Huachuma as ally, you ascend at dawn. You meet yourself without the armor.
Day 9: Integration & Return We circle one last time. You name what changed. You carry it home.
the integration
1 Group Call POST-Expedition
A month after you return, we gather again. To track what's landed. To hold each other accountable to who we became on the mountain.

"When I started working with Ish and his container, I had a quality of destructive rebelliousness that lacked discipline. Physically and mentally, this trip was a crossroads between staying weak and destroying my life, and coming out stronger with more motivation and willpower to accomplish my life’s purpose. I can proudly say that I have a renewed strength to build my life with after working with Ish. He was also a very skilled spiritual teacher who was able to hold space for everyone as a group and individually. This is the perfect experience for anyone looking to experience more life or change their life or themselves."
Duncan Smith, Yoga Instructor
If this is calling you, don't wait.
These 8 spots fill slowly and then all at once. If something in you is stirring, that's information. The application takes 5 minutes. A conversation follows - no pressure, just honest.
"I would highly recommend working with Ish and jumping on board one of his experiences. It’s not definitely not easy by any means, but if you’re ready to commit, I think you’ll come out on the other side a much more evolved version of yourself. I know I have. This was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I will cherish this for a very long time.”
