Brian Christian Jenkins

After earning his MBA in London and relocating to the Canary Islands, Brian met his wife and planned to return to the US to start a family. Only months after the wedding, they received devastating news that they couldn't conceive, shattering their lifelong dream of being parents.

Brian underwent a spiritual journey, questioning his identity and purpose in the process. This experience, initially a blow, became his greatest gift, prompting him to reevaluate his identity and priorities.

This led him to fast for five days in the deserts of Death Valley, piercing his own chest with cactus thorns, a private Ayahuasca ceremony for him and his wife in Costa Rica, breaking down and expanding his understanding of love and intimacy between the masculine and feminine at a men's retreat in Malaga, and leading a virtual men's team with Rising Man since 2020.

Incorporating his experience with his teachings and spiritual journeys, Brian now guides Men to cultivating love from the inside out, fostering healthy relationships and navigating life's challenges with confidence and integrity. Such programs include Intentional Union, which supports couples in re-imaging their union and re-building it on a foundation of authenticity and courage; Man Unshakeable guides men to identifying and living their truth with the feminine NO MATTER WHAT; and Naked Truth is a journey for men and women to connect with their bodies in love, acceptance, gratitude, play and power.

I was compelled to co-create the Call to Courage Retreat for a few powerful reasons:

Expanding Beyond Borders: The decision to create the Call to Courage Retreat in Guatemala stemmed from a realization—I felt constrained by limiting my events to the Canary Islands. Embracing a challenge to confront my fears head-on and elevate my impact led me to establish a powerful space in Guatemala. This move aligns with my deep commitment to serve others at the highest level possible.

Trusting Collaboration: Hosting a gathering of this scale marks a significant milestone in my journey. It nudges me to trust in collaboration and co-creation, especially after the affirmation from Gareth’s podcast: “This is the man to build with!” This venture pushes me to expand my horizons and create a truly transformative experience for Mission-Driven Men.

Personal Growth Journey: Beyond the external impact, this retreat holds profound personal significance. As a Coach and Soul Guide, I cherish the privilege of facilitating growth in others while continuing my own inner work. By immersing myself in Guatemala, I confront and heal the lingering doubts—“Am I enough?” and “Will they accept it (me)?”

This retreat is not just about proving those doubts wrong; it’s about rewriting my internal narrative to resonate with the authentic truths etched in my soul—the same truths we aim to uncover and celebrate together during the retreat!
