Cacao Ceremony: The Call to Adventure - Men's Circle Haarlem

The Call to Adventure

Something shifts. A restlessness you can't shake. A feeling that the life you're living isn't quite the one you're meant for. Joseph Campbell called this "The Call to Adventure" - that pivotal moment when life invites you beyond your current existence.

This 2-hour cacao ceremony brings men together to explore The Call - how to recognize it, what it asks of us, and what becomes possible when we answer. Through ceremonial cacao, guided meditation with shamanic drumming, and authentic circle sharing, we'll create space where men can drop the performance and reconnect with what's true.

You'll leave feeling lighter, more open-hearted, and with greater clarity about where life is calling you next. More than that, you'll experience what it means to be vulnerably present with other men - the connection, support, and belonging that's possible when we stop performing and start being real.

What We'll Explore

Drawing from Joseph Campbell's work, we'll examine The Call as it appears in your life right now:

• Recognizing the calls that life has been extending to you
• Understanding resistance and what keeps us from answering
• Finding courage to step toward what wants to emerge
• The support available when we stop trying to do it all alone

Individual challenges are met within the circle where what you've carried alone can finally be witnessed and transformed in community.

Who Is This For

This ceremony serves men from all walks of life who sense something calling them toward deeper authenticity:

• Men in relationships exploring how to show up more genuinely with their partners
• Single men seeking authentic connection and purpose beyond dating or career success
• Fathers wanting to model authentic masculinity for their children
• Young adults navigating the transition from external expectations to internal compass
• Men in career transitions feeling called toward more meaningful work
• Anyone feeling stuck between who they've been and who they're becoming

Whether you're 25 or 65, whether you're questioning everything or just sensing there's more available - if you're curious about what lies beneath the roles you play daily, this work may serve you.
