For those seeking a more personal container, Eli works privately with a select number of men through one-on-one mentorship. Drawing from more than twenty years of teaching and practice, independently and alongside David Deida, this mentorship create space to work directly with what is alive in your life: your relationships, purpose, practice, leadership, or the places where you know something is asking to deepen.
There is no prescribed curriculum or formula to follow. The work responds to the man and the moment, combining conversation, embodied practice, direct reflection, and the kind of honest challenge that can be difficult to find on your own.
Private mentorship offers the continuity to stay with the work beyond a single retreat or experience. Together, you’ll develop greater awareness of how you meet your life, strengthen the practices that keep you grounded, and explore the edges where more honesty, precision, or courage are being asked of you.
Private mentorship is limited and offered by application. If you feel called to work with Eli one-on-one, share a little about where you are, what you’re working with, and why this feels like the right time.
“The one-to-one work with Eli became a deep and constructive workshop for developing personal tools to stay present and acting with focus. First to learn to listen and then to form what was perceived into defined physical expressions that held and cultivated personal meaning. As I work and further refine this way of physically express an inner awareness, I have experienced a distinct heightening of my capacity in many different areas of life. And look forward to see where it leads with deep gratitude and respect.”
– Thomas Winther, Psychotherapist, Denmark
“Eli provides a grounded witnessing in his coaching. An experience of empowerment in which, by sharing you feel the ability to go further, deeper and feel into your core. Eli has a wide range of tools and modalities that simplify experience and get you out of your head into the moment. For anyone with a busy mind his container can be a blessing.”
– James Dougherty, CA
“Eli, you’re the real deal. At a point in my life where I needed a model and teacher, you’ve been all that and more. The practices (tools) I’ve learned from you will be with me for the rest of my life. The resulting personal growth is overflowing to my relationships, work and overall well-being. I am forever grateful for your willingness to share and hold space for others. You are truly a gift.”
– Jacob Long, IT, AZ
“I have benefited deeply from Eli’s presence, space-holding and wisdom. His knowing of the polarities feels rooted in experience, and his grounded connection to nature comes through in the way that he speaks and holds himself. There are few men that I trust and look up to as a leader, brother and friend in equal measure, and Eli is most certainly one of them. I have learned so much about how to hold and lead myself as a man, thanks to his personal coaching and group immersive experiences”
– Richard Ayling, Coach & Men’s Work Facilitator, Portugal
