The Story Behind the Work
Davey Calico trains people to cultivate wellness through mindful, embodied practices and group work. His professional journey began in education, where he served as a public school teacher. After the passing of his parents, Davey was deeply moved by the struggles many people face in embracing lives rooted in health, presence, and vitality. That experience reshaped his purpose and guided him toward the work he does today.
As a certified Kundalini Yoga and Qigong instructor, Davey integrates movement, breath, and awareness to help men reconnect with their innate energy and strength. He is also the author of Weaving Within: A Guide to Tantric Breathwork, a book that explores how conscious breathing can harmonize the body, mind, and spirit.
In addition to his teaching and writing, Davey leads a men’s group in his hometown, creating space for open dialogue, personal growth, and community connection. He also volunteers with the Alzheimer’s Association, honoring his family’s story and contributing to a cause that continues to inspire his commitment to compassionate living.
Davey’s mission is to empower men to embody authenticity, vitality, and purpose—living balanced, integrated lives of strength, awareness, and connection.
Pathways to Presence
Davey’s approach combines ancient wisdom with modern practice to help men awaken presence, power, and purpose.
What is Integrated Men's Work?
The Integrated Masculine Group Work is an online men's circle dedicated to fostering authentic growth, accountability, and deep self-discovery, structured around the proven framework established by the Mankind Project (MKP).
For men who are ready to move beyond surface-level conversations, this group provides a vital container for exploring the complexities of modern manhood. Our work focuses on building integration—bridging the gap between who you say you are and who you actually are in your relationships, career, and inner life. Rooted in the principles of personal responsibility and committed witnessing, our sessions offer a dedicated space to:
-
Cultivate Accountability: Create honest, actionable steps toward your stated goals in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
-
Explore Archetypal Depth: Gently investigate the different facets of your masculine identity to foster wholeness and stop self-sabotage.
-
Practice Presence: Utilize focused dialogue and deep listening exercises to improve your ability to be present and connected in all areas of life.
Build Brotherhood: Forge genuine connections with a trusted circle of men committed to mutual challenge and celebration.
What is Tao-Tantra?
Tao-Tantra is an integrative approach to energetic wellness rooted in ancient Eastern practices. It teaches practitioners to build awareness of their internal energy and to cultivate balance, vitality, and emotional clarity through mindful breath and movement.
In a modern wellness context, Tao-Tantra provides practical tools to improve intimacy and health — helping practitioners develop greater body awareness, manage stress, and support natural energetic flow. These techniques can be especially helpful for addressing challenges such as performance anxiety or general fatigue by promoting relaxation, circulation, and presence.
What is Qigong?
Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is a traditional Chinese wellness system that unites gentle movement, breath, and focused intention to support the smooth flow of life energy (Qi) throughout the body.
Regular practice strengthens the body, calms the mind, and harmonizes the nervous system. Qigong can be adapted for any fitness level, making it a simple yet powerful foundation for physical and emotional health.
