for the Great Forces of Love.
Pathways
Access points to this work, development pathways and how to sit with Matthew.
In-person over 1 Day
Spirals

Spirals are a powerful and timely evolution of the traditional sharing circle. These transformational in-person circles are for leaders, facilitators and great forces of love and can go for 3-12 hours.
This is the most accessible entry point to this body of work.
In-person over 3 Days
Cultural Leadership
Immersion

The Cultural Leadership Immersion (CLI) is a 3 day, in-person experience for those entering deeper stages of leadership and sacred role in these times.
Through embodied explorations, talks delivered by Matthew and subtle ceremony we journey through the living soul of Culture and Leadership in a process of personal ripening, leadership maturation and cultural resurrection.
In-person over 4D/4N
Ritual Council

Imagine a Council of soul-led leaders and wild hearts that doesn't stop for 2 days and 2 nights, spiraling deeper into the human experience and liminal realm leadership.
Part Transformational Ceremony, part Rite of Passage into Deeper Leadership, Part Ancient Ritual Resurrected and alive again in this age.
There is also a Council Keeper Initiation that takes place yearly in Australia and the UK. This is the path for those who would like to hold their own Ritual Councils.

ABOUT MATTHEW
Matthew is a visionary guide, teacher, and cultural pioneer devoted to depth, transformation, and soul-led leadership.
His work lives beyond conventional personal development operating in the realms of initiation, culture, living myth and
collective renewal.
He is drawn to what is real, alive, and world-shaping, creating spaces that invite honesty, depth, and profound change.
Matthew holds a beacon for leaders, facilitators, and change-makers who feel called beyond surface success into deeper forms of embodiment, leadership, and service.
At his core, he is devoted to genuine grassroots cultural renewal, uniting the great forces of love and supporting the leaders of our age to refine, ripen and fulfill their role within the ecosystems of life.
Upcoming Courses


There is a lot people in this world that have a lot to say. But not that many that are willing to lead with their embodiment of what they preach.
One of Matthew’s philosophies that I share is ‘don’t tell me, show me’ and he lives this with integrity and humility. This is an embodiment of mature masculinity that is deeply connected to his heart and honours the feminine that is the true medicine for these times.
Jo, UK
I felt so deeply heard seen and acknowledged both by Matthew, and all the other brothers and sisters attendees.
Love and compassion were the undercurrents flowing through, in and around over the magical weekend.
Abi, UK
Matthew has a way of working with deep sacred knowledge; bringing myth to life; learning from the ancient wisdom of our ancestors and helping us re-embody this and realise our true potential; whatever it may be.
He does this in a fun and engaging manner through story telling, through sound and music, through ritual and connecting with the earth.
