• While we at Nashoba strive to be as conscious and open minded as possible, our program is still best suited for cisgender, heterosexual men. We speak where we have a voice of relative authority. This group needs a new kind of support as they adapt and redefine their masculinity in a rapidly evolving world, and we feel called to aid them in doing so.

  • Nashoba has a 90-day foundations program, which is where the bulk of our coaching and mentoring occurs. Here we borrow from Jungian psychology to construct new symbolic rites of passage, like those missing from our culture now devoid of the village mindset. The program has 3 phases:

    1. Sovereignty: 4 weeks to identify limiting concepts and beliefs, and practices (including our favorite personality test) to bring the man to an awakened, present, conscious state—to realize his magnificent animality, and to no longer play the fool.

    2. The Prey: in the second set of 4 weeks, now that we have arrived at a more conscious state of mind, we are able to see our own shadow more clearly and realized where we’ve been missing the mark. This new sense of self allows us to define goals with greater clarity of vision—to define and aim for the right Prey (goals).

    3. The Attack: in our 3rd and final phase, we walk the game trail to stalk The Prey. We plan our route, we chase, and we make our kill stroke. Sometimes we get The Kill exactly how we envision it; other times The Prey eludes us. But with your new tools, you have what it takes to make The Kill (you always did, you just needed to uncover it), and now you have a brotherhood to witness your proving ground with shouts of celebration. We conduct ceremonies in person and online when appropriate, with the brotherhood, where we congratulate The Wolf on his attack. The Kill is secondary—you now know you’re going to succeed if you just keep walking the game trail.

    After the 90 days, there’s an online community feature, which we’ll cover below.

  • Yes. Only brothers invited by other brothers can join.

    The Nashoba Network is free, but for continued support on getting The Kill and on identifying and stalking new Prey, we have suitable membership options. Those paid options also entitle the brother to in-person gatherings, where applicable.

  • Jake is a husband of 22 years to his high school sweetheart who blessed him by carrying and delivering their 4 children into this world, 2 boys and 2 girls… none of them little anymore. He’s more in love with her now than the day they met—and she seems to feel the same way!

    Born in Georgia and the son of a welder (with Cherokee blood in his veins), Jake spent over a decade working to benefit and advocate for the welding community. After 5 years of homesteading, he and his wife made the decision to finally live their dream and move to Bend, Oregon, where he is now a Creative Executive and CMO for multiple startups (teaching woodworking for fun on the side). He’s decided to live fully into his calling: fostering community and mentoring men.
