Kairos Guild
A living village seeking a wilder and wiser way of life.
Welcome.
You were never meant to walk this path alone.
Modern life fragments us—isolates our gifts, severs our learning from life, and leaves us without elders, guides, or village. But there is another way.
The Kairos Guild is a living experiment in cultural remembering.
We are a guild of practitioners, teachers, and mentors working to preserve, evolve, and live out primal paths of wholeness, peace, protection, and wisdom.
Re-enter the village. Live the path.
The Kairos Guild is a networked, living village built around primal pathways of human wholeness.
It is not just a metaphor—it is a functional community where people train, guide, contribute, and grow across generations and roles.
Guild members walk one or more of the eight primal paths, and together they hold the living wisdom of our species in practice: physical, ecological, cultural, philosophical, and spiritual.
This is not content. It is a context.
About
What IS the Kairos Guild?
Manifesto
The dominant culture trains us for productivity, not participation.
It offers careers, not callings. It leaves us longing for initiation, depth, and continuity—things only a true culture can provide.
Kairos is the sacred moment—a time out of time when meaning becomes possible.
We are not recreating the past.
We are remembering what was never meant to be forgotten.
We are building a guild for that moment.
A place where wisdom is alive, life is practice, and belonging is participating.
When the world feels like it’s ending, build a village that remembers how to begin.
how it works
What you will find
The Guild is structured around eight primal roles, each a path of practice and contribution:
Each path has its own practices, trainings, councils, and roles. Members move through Guest, Practitioner, Apprentice, Journeyman, Guide, Keeper, Elder — not as ranks, but as developmental waypoints.
The Guild is not a program — it is a living village of roles, responsibilities, and rhythms.

Mentoring Mentors
The way of the Mentor is endangered in today’s landscape of collapsing academic institutions and digital learning experiences. The mentor was once the connective tissue of culture that ensured the cultivation of wisdom.
