Brothers Ignited started with a simple idea: men grow stronger together than alone.
The facilitators who guide our retreat experiences.
A transformational coach and masculine embodiment facilitator with over two decades of experience creating grounded, intentional spaces for deep personal work. His approach blends presence-based coaching, embodied practices, and guided experiential work to support men in building awareness, emotional balance, and meaningful change they can integrate into daily life. He creates spaces for transformation through 1x1 coaching, immersive group retreats, the BraveHearts Brotherhood Collective, and community events like the annual Us Fest, working with men from all walks of life, from stay-at-home dads to elite athletes. His work supports inner freedom, clarity of purpose, confidence, self-love, and a deep sense of belonging, helping men release self-limiting beliefs and reconnect with purpose, leaving with practical, embodied tools for ongoing growth and a life aligned with their deepest values.
Founder of AnatomySense, a dynamic approach to teaching anatomy that supports deeper self-understanding through embodied awareness, and a longtime teacher of Foundation Training, a performance and postural program designed to optimize health, resilience, and vitality through intentional movement. Mike leads men's retreats and circles, including Sensational Men, supporting men in becoming more compassionate, present, and emotionally available. Through his presence and guidance, men receive practical, embodied tools to reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and build resilience. Drawing from his work with AnatomySense, Foundation Training, and years of men's work, Mike supports deep processing and personal transformation, helping men slow down, listen inward, and anchor insight through the body in a way that is tangible, sustainable, and real.
A ceremonial leader and spiritual counselor whose work is rooted in lived experience, disciplined study, and years of mentorship. His spiritual path began during his time in prison, where he turned inward as a foundation for healing and transformation. Jeff holds a master's degree in East West psychology and is a certified spiritual counselor through the California Institute of Integral Studies. His practice weaves Buddhism, Taoism, and Lakota ceremonial traditions, with a primary focus on the Lakota sweat lodge ceremony, Inipi. He has participated in the sacred Lakota Sundance in South Dakota since 2022, sitting with Lakota elders and carrying prayers and songs passed down through lineage. In August 2025, Jeff founded Conscious Effort Awareness Development Services (CEADS) 501(c)3, a non-profit charitable organization providing cultural, educational, and artistic events, workshops, and retreat services as pathways for individual, ancestral, and collective healing through the development of awareness, relationship with the land, and intentional community.
