The Savage and Saint Philosophy

A Path to Freedom

"Michael gave me the inspiration to work hard, guidance around health, diet and structure to help me push myself in ways that I knew I wanted."

The Savage and Saint framework is centered around the duality of man.

Put simply, it is about accessing a balanced way of being. A deep yet digestible medicine for the masculine body, mind, and spirit. Through an unflinching examination of the self, we realize freedom from the ordinary. Whether a man is being crushed by life and seeking relief from his pain, or crushing life and seeking a competitive advantage, the Savage and Saint framework will help him align to true north so he can consistently perform at his best in all domains.

There are two extreme schools of thought currently plaguing modern men on their path to self-improvement.

The first is sickening in its abundance. It takes the form of self proclaimed shamans spouting “sacred” spiritual nonsense. Light-as-a-feather trauma junkies promoting a victim mentality and wearing harmlessness like a badge of honor. Hippy Dippy clowns hawking crystal cure-alls and airy-fairy, kumbaya, namaste nonsense. These shameless snake oil salesmen have seeped into the men’s work sphere offering nothing but a impotent spiritual materialism.

And on the flipside of that weak shit is the inauthentic facade of hyper-machismo. An increasing amount of men's only programs dispense a disturbed and distorted notion that your emotional reality is a liability that must be dominated and conquered. This “grind until you die, sleep when you’re dead” alpha-entrepreneur mindset is often paired with misogynistic perspectives that paint women as conniving cheats and emotions in general as feminine and, therefore, weak.

In both approaches you'll see a whole lot of talk, little action, and no actual change.

There seemed to be nothing out there that reflected back both sides of the coin evenly and honorably. Nowhere is it made clear that masculine aggression, ambition, competition, strength, and discipline are just as natural and critical as compassion, sensitivity, and gentility, emotional intelligence.

The path is not either/or.

The path must be both.

It was past time for a holistic approach that embraced and empowered the totality of what makes us men and holds us accountable for achieving our own excellence as an act of service to the collective.

This dual nature of man is the heart of The Savage & Saint Philosophy. Yes, you need to be tenacious, tough and even savage to heal yourself and attain your greatness, but you can never win a war with yourself. You must stop fighting against the man in the glass and learn to become his greatest ally. You deserve to actually enjoy the road to greatness.

Here, through a collection of practical yet life-altering lessons that fuse ancient wisdom with modern science, we study vitality. Lessons are delivered honestly and succinctly, with even the most abstract and complex ideas made accessible. Those who enter the Savage and Saint Collective will awaken the balanced and true warrior within - not a caricature of fake macho masculinity.

Together, as men of integrity committed to excellence, we clarify our values and transcend current limiting behaviors with lessons in self-governance, performance excellence, strength, compassion and community.

You will learn how to practically apply all the teachings and to contact the critical balance of gentility and ferocity to become a Savage & Saint in your life - and free yourself from the normalized mediocrity of modern culture.

Step into a Collective committed to accessing freedom in this very lifetime.

Blaze a New Path to Attain Your Mental, Physical & Spiritual Best

"Michael has helped me immensely and shown me how to let go of distractions, pressures, and stress. His work can truly be used by anyone looking for more meaning and seeking to know what truly is important. I started to see benefits very quickly once we started our work together."

“I chose Savage and Saint because of Michael’s deep study, understanding, and practice of meditation, his articulate teaching style, and his teachings in movement.”

"The “Saint” aspect of Savage and Saint surprised me. Every time I wanted to be hard on myself because I “failed,” I expected Michael to be hard on me as well - because that’s what society has programmed us to expect in a coach or trainer. I was surprised when I would share a shortcoming or failure, and he responded with, “Me too.”

“Other online courses seemed too focused on working out. Holt embodied physical, mental, and spiritual.”

“Michael is someone I look up to as an inspiration. He came from a similar upbringing and has reached a place that I would very much like to be one day. For me, his ability to cut right through the bullshit was the most helpful. I think often in this line of work teachers tend to say what people want to hear, not what they need to hear.”
