STEP INTO THE FIRE

Emerge as the Man You Were Meant to Be.

For generations, men have walked this path alone—carrying the weight of expectation, pressure, and silent struggles. But the truth is, real transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in the presence of other men, in the raw and honest spaces where masks come off and true power is reclaimed.

This is more than a retreat. This is a rite of passage.

Over four days, you’ll step away from the noise of daily life and into a crucible of deep work, challenge, and self-discovery. Through ancient wisdom, modern embodiment practices, and time-tested initiatory experiences, you’ll strip away the conditioning that has kept you small and reconnect with the man inside you who is clear, grounded, and unshakable.

ASCENT RETREAT May 2-5th | Austin, TX

Embark on a transformative journey with Ascent, a four-day men's intensive retreat designed to elevate your masculine leadership, deepen your purpose, and embody the deep freedom you seek.

Set in the serene Texas Hill Country, this immersive experience combines embodiment practices, brotherhood, and expert guidance to help you become a more grounded, present, and conscious force in the world.

Join a brotherhood of men committed to personal growth and discover the tools to live a deeply meaningful life.

STEP INTO THE FIRE.

What to expect:

Radical Self-Reflection: Uncover the hidden patterns that keep you stuck and learn how to break free.


Brotherhood & Accountability: Surround yourself with men who won’t let you shrink, who challenge and uplift you.


Embodiment & Breathwork: Move beyond talk—unlock the wisdom held in your body and nervous system.


Conscious Leadership Training: Learn to lead with integrity, presence, and unwavering confidence.


Shadow Work: Face your fears, dissolve shame, and step fully into your power.


Fire Circles: Kick back and enjoy your new band of brothers in one of life’s oldest practices: gathering around a fire.

Silence & Nature Immersion: Disconnect from the world’s distractions and reconnect with yourself.

Ice baths & Sauna’s: Challenge your mind and your body while rejuvenating at our top-notch on-site facilities.

This retreat isn’t about empty motivation or surface-level bonding. It’s about real, lasting transformation—the kind that shifts how you show up as a man, as a leader, and as a force in the world.
