THE FORGE

We at the Growth Experience just finished up what was our first season of our curated Men's Group aptly named the Forge.

FORGE

To form or build something strong through effort

• "They forged a deep bond through adversity. Used to describe the intentional development of something meaningful, relationships, character, peace, identity, etc.

  
  

• To move forward steadily or forcefully

  • "He forged ahead despite the obstacles. Implies resilience, momentum, and purpose

For 8 weeks we did Forge. We cultivated a deep growth within ourselves as individuals by allowing ourselves to mingle in the energy of this group container. Calling in each other through the energy and deep wisdom of brother hood and community.

The Forge container was designed to support men through a perspective and lens of the healthy masculine in an age where masculinity and our role as Men in the world seems to be murky at the best of times.

We held space weekly by gathering around fire, activating movement (rucking), some breathwork/meditative practices and supporting each other by sharing our experiences of this world. This practice for 8 weeks allowed the Men to evolve a noticeable bond of trust, self worth, and open up to new possibility and belief for themselves. This is what community is supposed to feel like.

“I’ve always been a fan of going to the gym to keep my body healthy. The Forge is that for my mind. It’s a group of like-minded men that have the same goals: fostering mental resilience and becoming better versions of ourselves. It quickly became the highlight of my week and left me feeling energized and motivated. The quote 'if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together' is fitting."

"The Forge is a wonderfully balanced experience of movement, presence, discussion, laughter and brotherhood enriched by the elements of fire, earth, wind and water. It all feels just right."

The Forge will be an always evolving container that we will continue to offer. We will have new groups form, evolve current groups and continue to use this formula to grow alongside our brothers so we can be the best version of ourselves in any moment.
