Good Men Make Tracks GMMT: Rites of Passage

A powerful weekend of Rites of Passage for adult men.
Take a step deeper into your life while being held within intergenerational community

Good Men Make Tracks is a powerful and immersive three-day programme for men who want to pause, reconnect, and deepen their sense of purpose. It’s for any man with an interest in rites of passage, transition, and the stages of life – whether in relation to himself, his family, or his community.

Through time in nature, honest conversations, and shared experience, we explore what it means to live with purpose, integrity, and heart in today’s world. You don’t need to have it all figured out – just a willingness to show up, be real, and walk alongside other men on the same journey.

Good Men Make Tracks gives participants the opportunity to:

• Learn about and experience the components of a Rite of Passage

• Become familiar with the Tracks framework

• Gain communication and group work skills

• Understand the developmental tasks of adolescence

• Look at how to support young people today

In order to take part in a GMMT it is important you are:

• Willing to engage in your own personal development work

• Able to function in a device-free team environment

This program is suitable for professional development for anyone working with youth.
