Entrance to the Chrysalis
The Mavens Community
A Maven is a person who has deep, specialized knowledge and a passion for sharing it. Essentially, you are the ultimate subject-matter expert on your own mind, body, and history.
The door into the work. A place to stop drifting in private and stand with other men who are doing the same.
What’s inside
Online men's circles every two weeks
Live, facilitated circles where you sit with other men doing the work.
Weekly inspiration
Clear provocations and free tools to keep you moving between calls.
Special guests and workshops
Access to guests and Mike’s own workshops at no extra cost.
Priority access to 1:1 and group work
First in line when spaces open for deeper work.
Priority access to Mavens Retreats

Voices from the community survey.
Authentic Self-Expression
"Men share that the community allowed them to share deep emotions no one else has seen, facilitating a lightness in being, that is rare in conventional social spheres."
Validation Through Listening
The experience of simply being heard without unasked-for advice is life-changing. This process allows men to meet other men’s truths without the need to prove their own worth, fostering togetherness.
Domestic and Romantic Stability
Participants credit the community with providing essential support during "marriage breakdowns" and improving "family life. The
ability to "listen to oneself" was directly linked to being more attuned to partners and children.
A healthy men's circle for men needing momentum.
