Find your purpose.
Live your vision
Cross the threshold into the next chapter of your life.
For thousands of years, men stepped away from their villages and into the wilderness to mark life’s major transitions.
To find clarity.
To seek vision.
To return transformed.
Step deeper into purpose and vision
Lay foundations for family, career, and legacy
Release old patterns and begin a new chapter
Live in service to something greater
Initiate themselves into a path of community
The world is not designed for you to live your purpose.
It’s designed to keep you distracted by traffic, technology, and constant noise.
Compass creates the conditions for clarity.
Four days alone in the wilderness.
No food.
No distractions.
Just you, your truth, and nature.
This is where you finally hear yourself again.
Guided preparation with your Compass group. Reflect on your life until now, release what no longer serves you, and prepare to cross the threshold with a circle of men who will share this bond for a lifetime.
An 8-day journey guided by certified Compass Guides, culminating in your 4-day, 4-night Vision Fast in the wilderness. You return on the fifth morning renewed and transformed.
Four days and nights alone in nature. No food. No tent. No distractions. In the space between worlds, your clarity emerges and your vision crystallizes.
Rejoin a brotherhood of 100+ initiated men living their visions. Incorporation is the true journey. Bringing your vision home and giving your gift to your people. This community is free and lifelong through our nonprofit mission.
Take inventory of your life so far. Release the patterns, beliefs, and identities that no longer serve you.

Reconnecting with the traditions of rites of passage is your birthright.
It not only clarifies your direction. It clears a path for the next generation.
Our lineage originates with the vision of Stephen Foster in the 1980s passed from one generation to the next for over 40 years.
A generation that will desperately need men and women who are connected to nature, community, and themselves.
This is your chance to seek your vision, carry a gift home, and become a man who leaves the world better than he found it.
Think of those who are younger than you.
If you feel the call…
Pray for a vision.
Cry out under the stars.
Return with a gift: the gift of who you are here to become. We’ll meet you there.
