REPOST: Men’s Integral Practice Weekend with Dr. Marc Gafni
Dragon’s Den: Men’s Integral Practice Community
What is Dragon’s Den?
Are you the evolution of man unfolding right now? Are you the embodiment of your fullest expression of what it means to be a man? Do you know your most fundamental freedom or are you living your life with less?
Dragon’s Den is a first-of-its-kind Men’s Integral Practice Community committed to the evolution of masculine leadership and consciousness. This is not another fad to come and go, it’s not another attempt to recapture a myth about what it means to be a man nor is it just another way to think about manhood. Dragon’s Den is a vehicle to transform the very fabric of your life and how you enact your purpose, your strength and your passion as you shift mere fate into the destiny of your life.
Dragon’s Den brings the highest level teachings through the most comprehensive frameworks currently available. The Den isn’t just a one way street though. You don’t just come and passively learn. Men around the world, our integral practice community and our teachers are not only invested in supporting the leading instruction on men’s issues but are equally invested in discovering and clarifying the unknown emerging edge of manhood. Your unique participation and leadership is required to move men and women forward into our greater sense of beauty, truth and goodness.

Lukas Kade Rathke was born into this world with the inherent knowledge that he had come to assist with the great awakening. As a young boy it became obvious to Lukas that before he could help others to awaken he, himself, must embark on the journey of dark tunnels and high mountain peaks. Places that they didn’t teach us about in schools or books; places that can only be experienced. Since his youth Lukas has navigated many corridors of body and spirit and mind. He does not seek to teach or lead anybody, though he is ever present to be a light in your dark tunnels and celebrate with you on your mountain tops
