Reclaim Your Power. Reconnect with Your Purpose. Rise As a King.
“In the stillness of pain, in the roar of the fire, and in the brotherhood of men — the boy dies, and the man is born.”
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.

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 BUD/S–style challenges that push your mind, body, and spirit
- Drop into deep meditation and breathwork sessions to clear emotional blocks
- Engage in raw discussions on polarity, 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

WEEKEND SCHEDULE SNAPSHOT
FRIDAY — The Reckoning
Arrival & grounding. Fire circle. Cold plunge initiation. Drop the mask and tell the truth.

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

WHAT’S INCLUDED
- All lodging, meals, and materials
- Guided physical training sessions led by elite facilitators
- Daily workshops and meditations
- Brotherhood fire circles and rituals
- Becoming Masculine journal & welcome kit
- Post-retreat access to a private brotherhood group
