I’m Matthew McCartney

I’m a father of 2 which I’m raising in a conscious co-parenting friendship with my ex-wife. I’m also a former police detective turned men’s group facilitator and entrepreneur. 

I spent much of my life living as a version of myself that wasn’t aligned with who I actually was. And I woke up most mornings knowing that my path was just in reach.

It took decades of trial and error before I finally started to honestly refine my sense of Self. The refining began by acknowledging that the discomfort in those experiences could actually be an ally in my evolution.

My passion for helping others transformed from policing to being of emotional, physical and spiritual support and guidance. I reclaimed an important relationship with nature and my place in it.

I realized how important a supportive, active and passionate community is to the wellbeing of myself and others. And found that my unconventional way of cultivating insights and integration would be embraced by others who are actively seeking their path as well. 

What does living an inspired life look like to me?

Choosing to show up earnestly with my values.

Community

Through the powerful bond of friendship, we discover that our individual strengths become the foundation stones of something greater than ourselves.

Connection

In the honest exchange between souls, we cut through the noise and remember that real connection is the force that binds everything together in this wild existence.

Movement

Purposeful movement can help us balance power and flow, awakening the body's primal intelligence and unleashing the spirit's natural freedom.

Self-inquiry

Through the bold journey within, we strip away the layers of BS to uncover the truth that's been burning beneath everything we thought we knew about ourselves.

Openness

Openness dissolves the walls of the mind and allows life to flow through us as pure curiosity and fearless exploration.

Service

When purpose ignites the heart, service becomes a natural expression of our deepest calling, transforming everyone touched by the exchange.

Authenticity

When we drop the pretense of who we think we should be, we step into the unshakeable power of our genuine self.
