WHAT THIS IS
This isn’t a spa weekend or a kumbaya “men’s circle.” This is a rite of passage.
A weekend where you’ll sweat, bleed, breathe, and face the man in the mirror until you remember what the hell it means to be a man.
Through brutal physical challenges, raw emotional truth, and powerful spiritual practices, you’ll walk away more grounded, more powerful, and more fucking alive than you’ve been in years.
If you’re tired of the soft edges of modern masculinity…
If you crave truth, challenge, purpose, and brotherhood…
Then it’s time to step into the fire and FORGE THE MAN.
SIGN UP NOW – Limited Spots Available.
THE EXPERIENCE
A 3-day, 2-night immersion to reclaim your primal masculine energy and reconnect with your soul’s direction.
Over the weekend you’ll:
- Endure Military/Navy SEAL BUDs–style challenges that push your mind, body, and spirit
- Remove your masks and begin to face your own authentic reality and true potential
- Drop into deep interpersonal work with guided meditation, breathwork, and cold plunge sessions to clear emotional blocks
- Engage in raw discussions on mature masculinity, toxic masculinity, polarity, masculine shame, masculine guilt, purpose, sexuality, and masculine leadership
- Release your past in a forgiveness fire ceremony under the stars
- Build unbreakable bonds with a brotherhood of men rising together

WHY THIS MATTERS
Because most men today are disconnected, distracted, and domesticated.
We’ve been taught to suppress our instincts, silence our truth, and avoid discomfort.
But comfort is the coffin of masculine potential.
This weekend will rip away the layers of conditioning and remind you of the warrior, the king, the lover, and the sage within.
You’ll learn how to:
- Lead with direction and depth
- Hold space for the feminine without losing your center
- Live with integrity, intensity, and intention
- Embrace discomfort as your path to freedom
