Savage Creators
A 10 Month mentorship for men in animism and creativity.
In many tribal communities of our shared past, to not know one's gift was considered dangerous. One of the functions of tribal initiation was to enable one to discover their unique gifts and begin to live them for the sake of the entire community. Not knowing the gift of our dream is dangerous, because without living in connection with it, we are susceptible to becoming enslaved to the agendas and dreams of others.
Furthermore, all that energy we possess to create beauty and life can become embroiled in other, less integral pursuits. It can become lost in the realms of addiction, forever chasing after that which we've placed outside of ourselves. A good example of this is believing that beauty is something that we have to strive to possess, instead of living in synergy with the beauty that lives within ourselves.
As a Savage Creator, you reclaim your birthright to live the beauty of your own unique gift and share the fruits of that vision with the World.
The word savage can be applied in various ways. It can mean untamed, wild and ferocious. It can also mean cruel, fierce and furiously angry.
In the Hiberno-English of my youth, we used the word savage as an adjective. It meant something akin to exceptionally cool, amazing, great etc.
Within the context of this container, it symbolises the potency of embodying your wild self, untamed and unencumbered by the conditionings of society. To embrace the savage within is to live free of limiting beliefs and conditioning and to live in the splendour of your imagination and gifts.
Throughout the program, we will explore the dichotomies of energies that define us as men, both the shadow and the light, and learn to transmute those energies through art.
The modules that will be covered are:
- Star Gazer
- Seed Pod
- Snake Charmer
- Sasquatch
- Prometheus
- Avenging Angel
- Milk
- Coloniser
- Mountain
- Carnival
The first 9 modules will take place online, every second Sunday of the Month.
Beginning at 12pm Irish time, they will last around 3 and a half hours each.
The online dates are as follows:
12/12, 10/01, 14/02, 14/03, 11/04, 09/05, 13/06, 11/07, 08/08
We close with a live gathering, an exhibition and celebration. This will take place on the 12th of September 2026 in Ireland. Location and further details will be arranged closer to the time.
The program costs €750.
This can be paid in full or in instalments. Get in touch to arrange a payment plan that works for you.

On-Going:
West Cork Men's Medicine Circle
A fortnightly group container for shadow work and support.
Each gathering we explore themes relevant to the events of our personal lives then learn how to navigate them through a variety of practices and games.
Being witnessed and held by other men through our emotional challenges can allievate so much pressure on our relationship to women. Having a place to come and be seen and heard, a place to cultivate insight and medicine for ourselves, enables us to become safe men for our communities.
If you live in West Cork or are just visiting, you are so welcome to join us. Contact the number on the flyer for the date of our next gathering.
