Youth

Neil Christiansen lives with an unrelenting commitment to stay close to his heart and to walk alongside men, women, and youth as they remember their true nature.

At home in Panama, he is surrounded by the beautiful feminine presence of his beloved Katherine and their daughters, Gaiam and Ocean. Neil’s silliest and most playful self comes alive with his daughters, filling their days with laughter, imagination, and shared joy. He is well on his way to earning a lifetime achievement award as their most embarrassing dad. The ocean and surfing remain his lifelong home in nature to commune with God. He lives in devotion to his family and the brotherhood, tending the soil of future harvests in support of Sacred Sons, the substratum of its core team, and every young man who longs for meaningful connection.

His organizational guidance and vision were forged through more than a decade of developing a nonprofit in the jungles of Panama supporting youth in indigenous communities through education and community development. As Director of the Sacred Sons Foundation, Neil serves as a central connector and steward for Sacred Sons Youth. This shows up through guiding program development, advancing sustainability and fundraising efforts, and aligning people, resources, and vision to support the long term growth and impact of mentorship for young men.

Kale is a cultural consultant, speaker, and ceremonialist. He lives with his wife and daughter on the island of Maui, where the land, the ocean, and the rhythms of daily life are not separate from his work. They are the source of it.

He is a new father, and that has changed the lens through which he sees everything. Watching his daughter come into the world made the question of what we pass to the next generation less philosophical and more urgent and practical. It is no longer something he thinks about. It is something he tends to every single day.

Kale has spent nearly two decades in place-based education, rites of passage facilitation, and formation work rooted in the understanding that identity and character are not taught in classrooms. They require culture. They are forged through challenge, through ceremony, through relationship with land, community, and elderhood. That conviction has shaped everything he has built and every circle he has held.

His work has always been multigenerational. While his foundation is in cultural work, rites of passage for young men have been at the center of his calling. Human work requires diverse experiences, Kale had facilitated for in wilderness settings, in ceremony, around fires, and has watched what happens when a young man is held by a standard and surrounded by people who genuinely believe that the boy is capable of meeting it. He has seen it change hundreds of young men. He has seen those young men change their families. He has seen what moves through a community when enough of that happens in one generation.
