Ruben B. Gorseman-MesCoach & Course Leader
Ruben is certified life coach and reiki master and is trained in music therapy and depth-psychology. He is currently studying at the Jungian Institute Nijmegen to become a Jungian analytical therapist. He works with people to help them integrate unconscious material. Ruben became involved with RYIT after years of addiction and suffering as the result of being raised in a fatherless home. He became fiercely loyal to Eivind and his mission after his own initiation in 2018, which was a turning point in his life. It is his passion and purpose to help men become the best version of themselves and to create a world where boys can grow up to become the best men they can be.
Eivind Figenschau Skjellum
Eivind Figenschau SkjellumRYIT Founder
Eivind created RYIT while in the midst of a profound initiation due to chronic health issues, death of family members and the loss of everything that had given his identity form. He then discovered how to take men on a similar journey in just three months, suspecting that it may change their lives. The rest is history. Eivind is a recognized expert in the field of archetypes and masculine psychology, a true visionary and trailblazer, and a leading figure in burgeoning men’s movement.

He has been involved in men’s work since 2007, and went through his initiation with Reclaim Your Inner Throne in 2017.
