Adam’s journey has been one of profound healing, violence and loss. Following an Infantry combat tour in his 20's, he began a search for himself, spending long weekends meditating at a Zen Monastery in Upstate New York. While talk therapy was helpful, the deepest growth he discovered was in Men’s Work and communal healing.

With several certifications and years of facilitating men’s groups, his purpose is to create a safe and inspiring container for men to reclaim the life they deserve.

He employs somatic (of the body) practices in sessions like breathwork and QiGong to help participants go on an exploration to re-establish that connection to their source wisdom. He promises to hold you accountable to the life you deserve.

Several years ago, Ethan’s 130-pound weight loss journey transformed his life priorities, causing him to dissolve a successful business he owned, transition from LA to Petaluma, and pursue a path of helping others unlock the abundant-but-dormant versions of themselves.

His Integrative Health Coaching background has been centered on the connection but our internal emotional worlds and their physical manifestations. Sometimes this dives into our relationship with food, fitness, alcohol, and stress, and sometimes it’s around areas like our identity, view of self, workaholism, and chronic pursuit of achievement.

He is the host of The True Health Podcast, with listeners in 40+ countries, and a trusted facilitator, retreat leader and group workshop host.

Setting on eight acres of peaceful land, the quiet surroundings and beautiful facilities at Open Sky make for an ideal place for this retreat. A calm, minimal meditation room will host most of our day, alongside the gardens and serene grounds for contemplation, connection, healthy food, and community.
