The Mythical Man
I live in a reality I know men deeply long for—because I once longed for it too. I have no interest in living by our culture’s outdated narrative that normalizes a man’s life as scarce, complex, and hard. What I’ve come to know and experience is life’s true nature: prosperous, simple, and soft. And by soft, I don’t mean weak or limp—I mean the rare strength of a man who can look himself, his work, and his lover directly in the eyes, seeing both the pain and the pleasure in all of it, and say: I’m here. I’m available. Let’s dance.
While success has taken you far—the business, the wealth, the family you’ve built—it still leaves a deeper hunger for something more real, whole, and even magical. What this moment asks of you is not another strategy or hack that bypasses your heart but a tuning into the deeper parts of yourself: the wisdom you carry, the presence you’ve been seeking, and the new ways of being, leading, and loving that are waiting to emerge.
The Mythical Method
The Mythical Method redefines transformation — disrupting outdated cultural methods. Rooted in my own radical softening, doctoral research, and over a decade of guiding men, it awakens not a need to fix, but your dormant natural ability to be fully present, successful without sacrifice, and aligned with the truth of who you are.
The Mythic Method ❊
Initiation: Clearing
Here, you enter the myth of your latent identity, the self waiting to emerge beneath the surface. This stage is about clearing the outdated energies, thoughts, and beliefs that weigh on the body, heart, and mind. By releasing what no longer serves, you create the space for what is true, vital, and ready to emerge.
01Inquiry: Centering
Radical honesty, truth, and responsibility are the essence of this stage. Here, you confront and dismantle the survival patterns, unconscious roots, and illusions that keep you bound to unrealized potential, possibility, and prosperity.
02Incubation: Chrystalizing
Like the caterpillar in its chrysalis, this stage is where dissolution unfolds. The structures, ambitions, and identities that once defined you begin to disintegrate, making way for a more authentic form to take shape. In the stillness of incubation, the unseen work of transformation crystallizes your becoming.
03Illumination: Catalyzing
The new ways of being, leading, and loving emerge—not as a changed caterpillar, but as a completely new identity and expression, like the butterfly. Your heart, eyes, and ears awaken in unfamiliar ways, and you rise into the freedom to fly.
04The Mythical Man is walking alongside, supporting, guiding, initiating, and transforming the lives and businesses of Executives, Leaders, Entertainers, Creators, Entrepreneurs, Fathers, and Husbands
Mythic Men
Watch - “Move Mythically”
Work Together
I don’t do cookie-cutter work. Every experience is bespoke—designed around who you are, what you’re leading, and how you love. Current offerings include: In-person VIP Days, Retreats, Executive Advisorship, The Mythical Man Journey, and Speaking.
A core focus of my VIP Days and Retreats involves Plant Medicine and Psychedelics. If these aren’t something you’re open to or curious about, I also offer potent non–plant medicine VIP days and retreats.
In Person VIP
In-Person Experiences range from VIP Days to 3-Day Retreats across the USA, Mexico, and Costa Rica. Designed to radically transform both life and work, these immersions are forceless and flowing—infused with freedom, wisdom, clarity, creativity, and the grounding of evolved self-leadership.
Advisorship
Executive Advising is a potent portal that leaders across industries have chosen to enter. It’s a space to move through The Mythical Method and evolve as a man, leader, and lover—guided by me as a clear channel to help you move beyond your current horizon.
The Mythic Man
The Mythic Man is a simple yet profound 6-month or 1-year journey into the totality of who you are—how you lead, how you love, and how you live. You’ll experience the full breadth of my body of work through virtual sessions, complemented by VIP Days and Retreats.
Speaking Soul
Speaking Soul is your opportunity to book me as a keynote speaker, team workshop leader, or offsite guest. I’ve spoken to YPO chapters, addressed audiences of 10,000, and guided intimate executive gatherings. I lead with soul and speak directly to the heart of your audience.
Ryan Wegenast
It’s In My Blood—
My life’s work began before me. My grandparents lived in the jungle for 20 years as builders, artists, and spiritual seekers, paving the way for the path I now walk.
I grew up in the cornfields of Nebraska, where life was simple yet polarizing. The mythical path revealed itself early: I could see, hear, and sense the spiritual nature of life, even while feeling deeply alone and confused.
Hungry for more myth, I left the cornfields for the military, serving in search and rescue before working in surgery alongside some of the Air Force Academy’s top surgeons. After leaving the military, I continued my surgical career in Nashville, TN—until 2008, when I experienced my own awakening.
That turning point led me to South America, where I began traveling and studying ancient wisdom, healing, and cosmology. At the same time, I was building a family (I’m the proud father of three beautiful girls), growing a business, and pursuing a PhD in mythical psychology. Through these threads—personal journey, time in the jungle, and doctoral research—I began weaving the body of work I now guide others through.
Today, I bring this lived experience into my role as a trusted advisor, researcher, and retreat guide. I support business leaders, executives, creatives, entertainers and entrepreneurs through a unique blend of mythical psychology, ancient wisdom, and intuitive insight. At the core, my work is not led by theory, opinion, or belief—it is grounded in lived experience and a proven history of walking alongside men as they navigate life’s thresholds. My intention is simple: to help them rediscover, in their own way, the gift of their existence in its fullness.
