So, what is a Kickstart Workshop Intensive all about? That’s a good question that deserves a straightforward answer. Well, let me ask you a few questions that might help you decide if this is right for you.
Have you been trying to change your unwanted sexual behaviors for a while but still feel stuck? Have all the books you’ve read only left you spinning your wheels, and you feel less and less hopeful? Maybe you're new to this whole recovery thing and you need a guide to get on a better path. Or you could have been at this a while but can’t seem to find success for more than a few weeks. If any of this sounds familiar, then the Kickstart Workshop Intensive is the place for you!
Time and time again I hear guys saying, “I’m stuck! and I can’t seem to get out of this rut.” This is precisely why I designed the Kickstart Workshop. I want to help guys get unstuck by creating positive momentum, and set them on a different path. This workshop will get you on a the road you've been looking for!
Too many times guys find themselves in a group or some other form of therapy where they are handed books and tool, then they are told, “OK, here you go….. Now do it.” Well duh, as if you should just know how to 'just do it.' If you knew how to do it, you probably wouldn’t be there to begin with. Ugh! If you were never instructed on how to use a hammer properly, it is just a heavy thing you carry around. That’s how recovery tools feel when no one coaches you on how to use them properly, they feel HEAVY and weigh you down! Let me take the guesswork out of the tools you need. This will allow you to be effective in living in your recovery every single day.
In the Kickstart Workshop Intensive you'll learn tools that will equip you to identify and sit with emotions without being overwhelmed by them. And if they do overwhelm you, you will have the skills to combat them , so you can return to a more stable place quickly. You’ll also learn to identify and overcome the thoughts that keep you stuck in the 'loop’. It's the one that keeps you going back to the things you promised you would never do again. You'll learn how to engage with the difficult issues and problems that have kept you stuck in a rut. You’ll construct your very own personalized threat assessment tool that will help you see a relapse coming well in advance, allowing you to move in a different direction and avoid relapse altogether! You’ll lean into community as you expand your skill set for a healthy and balanced life.
We’ll be nestled in the woods in a cabin outside of Packwood Washington, with acres of direct access to the Cowlitz river directly behind us. Here you’ll have an opportunity to explore the outdoors as we put into practice the tools you'll be learning. It’s a place to connect with God in nature, as you reconnect with yourself. You will also spend the weekend with other men. Men who get it. Just like you, they are looking to learn, understand, and sharpen their recovery.
All meals and lodging are included in the cost of the Kickstart Workshop Intensive Weekend. All you have to do is get there and come ready to learn and grow! You will need to bring along your own personal items. (You'll receive a complete list once your registration is complete) I suggest something to write in and your favorite pen. A journal and bible would also be recommended. The location is in the mountains so the weather can vary this time of year (Mid-June) and we will be outdoors a bit, so prepare accordingly. Plan for cooler evenings, warmer days and even a chance of rain. Bring your favorite walking/hiking footwear and a water bottle. You may even want to bring a daypack if you like to carry items with you while you’re out exploring.
You will get a hands-on learning experience where you can ask questions and practice new skills in a safe and fun environment with no excuses, no judgments, and no guilt. So, you have nothing to lose, except being stuck.
Let’s get you moving forward to a better place in your recovery!

In order to allow for maximum question and answers along with the most hands on learning, this workshop is limited to Only 5-6 Men. I want you to get direct access without a bunch of distractions, so you leave with a full understanding of these critical tools. Don’t miss your opportunity.
