SIX STAGES. ONE UNFOLDING LIFE.

The Six Stages
of Manhood

Just as a tree develops strength through years of growth, changing seasons, and enduring storms, a man is shaped by the experiences, challenges, and victories of his life. At the center of a mature tree is its heartwood—the oldest, enduring wood that provides strength and stability. It serves as a picture of the Wise Sage, a man whose journey has produced wisdom, maturity, and strength that can now benefit others.

The six stages below are based on and adapted from Chris Bruno’s exploration of masculine development in Sage: A Man’s Guide Into His Second Passage. These stages are not a rigid, linear progression, but an overlapping journey of growth in which each stage builds upon the others.
