Let’s talk to clarify wether you’re ready for this initiation.

A once-in-a-lifetime initiation for entrepreneurs who know that true leadership starts within.  Leave behind the noise. Enter the wild. Return with clarity, power, and purpose.
Leadership isn’t found. It’s forged.

WHY THIS? WHY NOW?

You’ve built. You’ve succeeded. But there’s a deeper calling — one that won’t be answered through strategy alone. This journey is for those ready to meet their edge. To strip away the performance. To remember who they truly are as leaders, men, and visionaries. 🔥

✅
Crystalline clarity on your next chapter as a leader and man
✅
Resilience under pressure – emotional, strategic, embodied
✅
Access to your core truth and intuitive intelligence
✅
A powerful brotherhood of conscious entrepreneurs walking the same path

WHY RITES OF PASSAGE MATTER

In every ancestral culture, a man was not simply born — he was made. Through fire. Through silence. Through being seen. Rites of passage marked the threshold between boyhood and manhood — sacred, demanding, unforgettable. Without them, a man may grow old but never truly arrive. He drifts. He performs. He hungers for something unnamed.

Modern life offers no such thresholds. But the need remains. This is a return to the forgotten fire — a circle of men who will not look away.
A place to meet the unknown, be seen, and rise.
You were not meant to walk this edge alone.
Step forward — with honor, with brothers, with open eyes — or remain on the sidelines of your own life.
You cannot bypass the fire.
But you can choose to walk through it as a man.

One last word…

This is not about becoming more. It is about remembering who you truly are. We wish for every man who enters this rite to return with the gift he came to bring—  To remember his vow.  To embody the mature masculine as creator, protector, and steward of life. To build companies, families, and futures rooted in sacred integrity.  To lead in harmony with the feminine.  To integrate the shadows. To walk in wholeness.

“Live in faith that the whole world stands with you, as long as you stay true to the best in you.”

– Christian D. Larson
