Foundations is both a deep commitment to your own emotional growth and development, as well as a deep dive into the skills, tools and experiences you need to guide others.
As featured in
Not just a leadership training program: This isn’t a passive experience. It’s a transformative, hands-on, deep-dive into guiding men through the fire, by going through it yourself first.
A solid path forward: Foundations program participants can go on to become EVRYMAN facilitators, bringing their lessons to life in their own community.
Grounded in our core ethos: At the core of our values is the notion that the best leaders are men who have led themselves through deep change, Foundations is built around learning from your own growth.
Foundations is a skill based experiential learning program designed for deep exploration and growth. It is spread out over a 6-month total period for maximum absorption and integration. This program is designed for Therapists, Coaches, Body Workers, Teachers, Managers, and men that have done some of their own inner work and have the desire to learn more about themselves and helping others. The expected time commitment each week is about 4-5 hours to successfully complete the course.
Block 1: The first 3 months of Foundations will be a deep dive into emotional awareness and resiliency. Because this is a skill-based curriculum, specific teachings around physiology, resources, and somatic awareness are woven throughout. During this Block we will focus on development of Group Leadership Skills. There is a live weekend event included in Block 1 which is mandatory. At the end of Block 1, participants will have a newly formed relationship with their Emotional body, their Somatic body, their Physical body, and the ability to track the energy of a group and an individual.
Block 2: After Block 1 we take one month off and then begin Block 2. This segment of Foundations is designed to increase interpersonal skills with another working 1 on 1. Authentic connection in a safe environment is the space that we evolve in, and a space that is intentionally created. Participants will take a deeper dive into unpacking blocks and barriers that get in their way while focusing on visions and dreams of their future. In Block 2 we teach the elements of Somatic Inspiration, Creative Action, and how to work with individuals from this place. There are required hours for each participant in both Group Leadership and with 1 on 1 timed sessions. Participants that complete the full program will have broken through their fears and resistance into working with others individually and collectively. Graduates will have learned, and will still be developing, the skills needed to help guide change and bridge a polarized world. Foundations is for Men that are passionate about being the change that the world needs.
Weekly online meeting for teaching calls and group practice. Meetings are scheduled for 90 minutes. Additional time each week is to be spent with your accountability partners to debrief, share, and challenge each other throughout the course. These meetings are to be a minimum of 90 minutes. Attending DIGs on the EVRYMAN platform as you attend Foundations is strongly encouraged. This provides a great view into how a facilitated group works, and you get to participate and do your work!
There is a weekend retreat during Block 1 of Foundations that is mandatory. The workshop, lodging at the workshop, and food are included in tuition. Travel expenses to and from the workshop are not included. There are required hours of Group Leadership and Individual Mentoring Sessions during Block 2. These hours are to be tracked on your tracking sheet provided at the end of Block 1.
At the end you will receive a Certificate of Completion signifying you as a graduate of Foundations. This provides certain benefits in the selection process of leading and teaching in the EVRYMAN space.
Note: Upon acceptance of your application you will be invoiced based on your preferred payment plan

You can expect a deep dive into your own relational, emotional, and personal growth. A path to have you learn the principles and skills through teaching and through experiential practice. We cannot teach what we have not experienced. You will feel confident in leading a man through a Healing Journey, lead a group through our process, and teach men how to connect to their emotions and “do the work”.
Yes. If you opt-in for the full program with the Facilitation Training and pass a simple assessment, you will receive a Certification from EVRYMAN validating your capacity to offer/do EVRYMAN’s work to our standards.
Nothing is guaranteed, but you will be first in line, with other Facilitation Training graduates, for opportunities to lead EVRYMAN Drop-In Groups, assist at EVRYMAN retreats, and assist with leading EVRYMAN courses. We also enjoy collaborating with Foundations graduates to develop new EVRYMAN courses and educational content.
This is our highest level training, you will be at the pinnacle of learning the EVRYMAN Method. What comes next is to bring your skills to the world, in a 1:1 coaching or Group leadership capacity. For those interested in starting their own coaching or facilitation business, we have a preferred partner (a Foundations Training graduate) offering a Business Bootcamp for Coaches & Facilitators.
In the future there will be mentoring programs for those wanting to lead retreats and programs on their own under the EVRYMAN banner.
We offer practice and integration opportunities both during and after the training.
Class or practice time will be 90 minutes per week. There will be another hour or more of absorbing the online material. Every man will have a Foundation Training Project where you take the work out in the world. Men in the past have hit their wall of excellence; with the support of the program, facilitation staff, and their cohort discovered that they were capable of more than they imagined.
Membership is not required. However it will be required while you are enrolled in the Foundations Training to connect to the EVRYMAN community of men in order to have more opportunities to learn and practice.
You can say you are trained as an EVRYMAN facilitator, and if you take the full program, you will receive an official certification from EVRYMAN.
In addition to applying the skills gained to your own leadership practice, you will be eligible to assist and co-lead at EVRYMAN live and virtual events. You will be encouraged to take your application of the EVRYMAN Method out into the world as your unique contribution.
No. but it is very helpful to be in a group and understand the dynamics. The more group experience you have, the more effective you will be as an EVRYMAN facilitator.
We have therapists and coaches take this program to up-level their somatic and emotional skills. Many of our students have no coaching experience. Through receiving and giving support to fellow participants, you learn and embody powerful coaching skills not taught anywhere else. At the end of the Facilitation Certification Training, men share how in one coaching session, their clients report huge shifts.
Going against the norm where traditionally professional trainings don’t provide professional development (business) training — we do. We believe it’s not enough to train you well to lead or coach; we want you to succeed.
