Welcome to Iron & Heart: Mastering Mind and Character at the Yosemite Goddess Festival, where transformation begins from within.   


We're excited to have you join a community of men committed to hitting the reset button on life and stepping boldly into the fullness of who you are and what you want to contribute.


Our seminars and workshops are crafted to empower you to reflect on your purpose and cultivate your best self. You’ll have the opportunity to engage in deep conversations with Wise Elders, explore intimate relationships, and learn to listen to and honor women. Together, we’ll unravel the complexities around patriarchy and what it means in today’s world. Most importantly, you’ll connect with other men who share a commitment to becoming more—more for their families, their work, their communities, and the world.


This is your space to explore, to grow, and to redefine what it means to live with strength, integrity, and heart. Welcome to your journey.

Women Speak, Men Listening

Speaking! Listening! Such a simple concept, yet do we do it well? Men, do you "listen" to women, or does noise in your head get in the way of listening/hearing what is actually being said? 


Come participate in this 90 minute workshop with Joan Bordow and Xav Dubois. In "Women Speak, Men Listening", the women will be the only ones in the room who will be speaking and sharing WHILE all men who are attending will practice listening with open hearts, open minds, and with empathy and compassion. At the end of this workshop, we will all have a chance so share what we learned from and about each other and ourselves.

Embracing Miracles: A Journey Through A Course in Miracles (2 hour workshop)

We are honored to welcome John Hulbert, acclaimed author and spiritual explorer, to the Yosemite Goddess Festival for a transformative workshop titled "Embracing Miracles: A Journey Through A Course in Miracles".



John Hulbert, who grew up enjoying the sun and surf of Newport Beach, California, later embarked on a profound journey of Self-discovery that took him around the world. His rich life experiences, chronicled in his memoir "King Without a Kingdom" and his latest book "Journey to Love, Lessons from Life," have deepened his understanding of spiritual truth, culminating in his insightful exploration of Jesus’ life in "Yeshua, A Different Story."



In this two-hour workshop, John will guide participants through the transformative teachings of A Course in Miracles, a spiritual text that has inspired millions to shift from fear to love and embrace the miraculous in everyday life. Through the lens of John's personal journey and deep understanding of the Course, attendees will explore the power of forgiveness, the distinction between the ego and the true Self, and how to apply the Course’s principles in daily life to experience peace, joy, and love.



The session will include guided meditations, practical exercises, and group discussions, providing participants with tools to live more aligned with their true nature and the love that is at the core of A Course in Miracles. Whether you are new to the Course or have been studying it for years, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to deepen your practice and connect with like-minded seekers.



Join us at the Yosemite Goddess Festival for this special workshop with John Hulbert and open yourself to the miracles that await.

Beyond the Cage: Redefining Masculinity with Courage and Authenticity

This isn't just another conversation about masculinity; it’s an audacious journey into the heart of what truly defines us. For too long, we've been handed a concept of masculinity that boxes us in, stifling our true potential and authentic selves. It's time to break free from that cage and explore the possibility of what it means to be male beyond outdated stereotypes and expectations. 


Join us in this powerful, thought-provoking workshop, where we, as men, will take a hard look at the narratives that have shaped us. Together, we'll ask the tough questions: Why have we subscribed to these limiting ideas? How has it affected our lives, our relationships, and our mental well-being? And most importantly, how can we redefine and expand what masculinity means for us in a way that is empowering, liberating, and fulfilling?


If you're feeling strong, bold, and ready for a challenge, this is your call to action. Let’s grab the bull by the horns, break through barriers, and explore the vast potential of male expression. It's time to step into a more authentic, rewarding, and powerful version of ourselves. Are you in?
