About ...
Are you ready to rediscover your true self and align with your inner compass? Join us for True North Immersion, a three-day journey designed to ignite your true trajectory and awaken your authentic expression.
This retreat is not merely an escape to nature; it's a voyage into the depths of your being. Over the course of three days, we will follow the thread of truth and aliveness to reconnect you with the parts of yourself that have longed to be seen and heard.
Immerse yourself in the space that holds reverence for the sacredness of brotherhood and men who are willing to learn, lead, and love to the deepest corners of their hearts. On this retreat, you will both be led and become the leader, with each offering instilling new courage in how you approach life. This nurturing retreat will be led with a gentle touch to encourage transformation. Through the elements of art, exploring the lost inner child, embodying the strength of the mountain, and deep presence in meeting the moment here and now, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Each moment of this journey is an invitation to lean into your authenticity and embrace your true north. Whether you find solace in the stillness of the forest or strength in the rhythm of the river, our retreat offers a sanctuary for exploration and growth.
Join us as we heed the call of the wild and journey together towards deeper self-understanding and profound connection. Your True North awaits.
Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and embark on this alchemising adventure with us.

What they say ...
“The feeling of shame and being unsafe is something that I have carried around with me for my whole life. Jacob is the first person in my life that I truly feel safe around. He has built a circle of men who I also feel safe around. I have finally been able to begin my healing journey and move forward in a state of calm self expression. He is truly a special human.”
— Danial
“Jacob Houston is a man with a mission to help men feel seen and heard while also being pushed and held accountable for the things they seek help with.”
— Mitch
“I'm learning about the full range of expression you talk about, from the most extreme and flamboyant to the quiet, gentle, and subtle. Expression isn't limited to the big and loud moments; it encompasses the entire spectrum. This understanding is a key takeaway for me, and I'm seeing its impact in various situations.”
— Nic
“I came to the retreat with no expectations, and though I can't pinpoint exactly what's changed, I feel different inside. During the role-playing exercise, I initially resisted getting up, but then an urge compelled me to participate. I don't even remember everything I said, but I recall being guided to stop, slow down, and recenter myself. This helped me shift from being in my head to being in my body, and it made a significant impact on me.”
— Dave
“I remember you telling me, "This is what you're here for this weekend," and those words really stuck with me. They've been a significant part of my experience, leading to a newfound softness and slowness in my approach to life. I’m no longer holding on to frustration or anger, especially with work stresses. The rage process and understanding it have been invaluable.
Dealing with frustrated customers in my job used to build up daily, but now I feel more at ease. I'm grateful for the retreat's impact and look forward to pushing my boundaries in the next workshop.”
— David
Who am I
Jacob here! I'm on a quest to help men discover their inner alchemy, transforming what lies within to cultivate a profound resonance with life. My passion lies in guiding men towards authentic expression and heart-led choices that create defining life-changing moments.
The three pillars I work with are FierceLove, EmbodiedTruth, and AttunedExpression. FierceLove is about tapping into fierce love and truth, which serves as the foundation of how I navigate life. Whether it's in relationships, friendships, communication, or mentoring, I always return to love when I feel out of alignment, ensuring my actions are rooted in compassion and authenticity.
EmbodiedTruth means staying grounded and running everything through the body for calibration. My body is a reservoir of truth, guiding me to stay authentic and connected to my deepest insights. By listening to my body, I can remain grounded and genuine in every moment.
AttunedExpression emerges when I have returned to love and processed everything through my body. This expression is aligned with my heart, head, gut, and balls, creating clear, concise, and potent communication. It allows my true self to shine through in a resonant and impactful way.
I lead transformative journeys that unlock the full spectrum of masculinity and expression. With a background in acting and extensive experience in men's embodied leadership, I blend improvisational theatre techniques with deep, resonant men's work. This unique approach helps men tap into their truth and aliveness, fostering environments where they can thrive and connect meaningfully.

Guest Facilitator’s
Buka Wisdom Woods
Buka Wisdom Woods leads men on a journey back to the body and heart, to go Beyond the Talk, and to tap into their innate power that resides in the presence of the body and its innate wisdom.
He believes that for men to become all that they can be, they must first tap into who they truly are as an experiential being—a felt sense resonator, their masculine core.
Through his teachings of trauma-informed breathwork and somatic healing, depth embodiment, and IFS therapy (parts work), Buka guides men to connect with the deepest parts of themselves and their aliveness.

and lets go!!!
My Brother,
I hope this letter finds you in a moment of reflection, a pause amidst the chaos of daily life. Thank you for taking the time to read these words, they come from a place of deep love.
I see you, not just the facade you present to the world, but the person you hide beneath it. I feel the weight of your silence, the burden of unspoken truths that carve canyons in the landscape of your soul. You shouldn't have to hide, my brother, not from me, not from anyone.
Imagine for a moment, if you will, the trajectory of your life if you continue along this path of concealment. Picture the strained relationships, the missed connections, and unexpressed emotions deteriorating every aspect of your life. Is this the legacy you wish to leave behind?
It doesn't have to be this way. It starts with a choice, a decision to step into the light, to embrace your true self with all its flaws, vulnerabilities, weirdness and your fucking medicine. Don’t get it wrong it will be scary, but the alternative is far scarier—a lifetime of regret, of wondering what could have been if only you had been brave enough to be yourself.
This retreat isn't just about finding inner peace or rediscovering your purpose—it's about forging connections and building bridges between the fractured pieces of our lives. It's about creating a safe space where authenticity & expression reign supreme, where masks are shed and the raw beauty of our humanity is laid bare for all to see.
I want you to be a part of this, not just for your own sake but for the sake of those you hold dear. Your partner, your parents, your children—they deserve to know the real you, the person behind the mask. And so do you, my brother. You deserve to live a life that's more than just "good enough." You deserve fucking epic.
So I ask you, with all the love in my heart and all the hope in my soul, will you join me on this journey? Will you take that first step towards a brighter, more authentic future? I'll be right here beside you, every step of the way, ready to catch you if you stumble and celebrate with you when you soar.
Big Love Jacob
