Core Production Team
Ian MacKenzie
Ian MacKenzie is a mythosomatic guide, filmmaker, and founder of The Mythic Masculine, a platform devoted to aligning masculinity with thriving life. For over 15 years he has tracked the emergence of imaginal culture—from the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall Street. His films include The Village of Lovers, Lost Nation Road, Amplify Her, and Sacred Economics. Ian brings myth, story, and embodied presence to his work, inviting groups into deeper coherence, creativity, and collective attunement.
Trevor Mervyn
Trevor is a father, ritualist, storyteller, and vision fast guide whose midlife descent at 39 opened him to a deeper life shaped by ritual, myth, grief, and reverence. Since 2021 he has been hosting culture-tending gatherings in the qathet, BC region—from Medicine Story nights and Grief Rituals to Ancestor Feasts and welcoming visiting storytellers. Trained through the School of Lost Borders, Orphan Wisdom School, and multiple mentors in ritual leadership, dreamwork, and council, he completed an 18-month initiation culminating in a four-day vision fast. Guided by a devotion to the mysteries and the more-than-human world, Trevor’s lineage threads back through Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany.
