The Mythical Way
This loss of myth is one of the most devastating losses man has suffered. Myth is the bond that unites men, not only with one another, but with the greatest gift ever given to them - their existence.
For thousands of years before the 18th century, myth was how men moved, related, and created life. Then came the great trade: mythical living for narrative living, wonder for reason, presence for power, and story for script. By the 19th century, industrialization sealed the lips of myth, and men became efficient but empty—dizzy, disenchanted, and disconnected from their primal, mythic way of being.
You weren’t designed to live by someone else’s script. You were created to move mythically through life, from a place of presence, wonder, and the intelligence of the unseen. While success has carried men far—through their businesses, their wealth, and the families they’ve built—it often leaves a deeper hunger for something more real, whole, and even magical. What this moment asks is not another strategy or hack that bypasses the heart, but a tuning into the deeper current within: the wisdom we already carry, the presence we’ve been chasing, and the new ways of being, leading, and loving that are ready to rise through us
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 I have no interest in living by our culture’s outdated narrative that normalizes a man’s life as scarce, complex, and hard.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.
The Mythical Model
The Mythical Model redefines transformation — disrupting outdated cultural models. 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 Model ❊
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 This stage is about clearing the outdated energies, thoughts, and beliefs that weigh on the body, heart, and mind.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.
04Mythic Men
Executives, Leaders, Entertainers, Creators, Entrepreneurs, Fathers, and Husbands
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, Mentorship, Executive Advisorship, The Mythical Man Journey, and Speaking.
This work has helped Hollywood Entertainers, Tech Founders, Fortune 500 Executives, Professional Athletes, Creators, and Practitioners.
*Investments range from 5k-30k+ and reflect over a decade of tried and true results, experience, and expertise.
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.
Advisor/Mentor
Executive Advising is a potent partnership 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 journey into the totality of who you are, how you love, what you are building next, and how you exist. You’ll experience the full breadth of my body of work through virtual sessions, complemented by VIP Days and or Private Retreat.
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.
About 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. 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.
