STEP AWAY FROM THE NOISE. FACE WHAT’S REAL. BECOME THE MAN YOU WERE MEANT TO BE.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE TRANSFORMATION?
FORGED IS A FIVE-DAY RITE OF PASSAGE WHERE YOUNG MEN FACE TRUTH, DROP THE MASK, AND WALK AWAY DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS. YOU STILL FEEL LOST.
Forged is a five-day wilderness experience that breaks the noise, cracks you open, and calls you into something real.
It’s not therapy. It’s not boot camp. And it’s definitely not about becoming some alpha-male version of yourself. It’s for young men who feel stuck—in patterns they can’t explain, in questions they’ve never had space to ask, in a life that looks fine from the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside.
Some of us grew up without strong male role models. Others had good dads—and still never learned how to become men. We weren’t taught how to handle failure without shame, how to sit with pain instead of running from it, how to be honest without fear of being weak. We were told to be good. Be strong. Be fine. But no one showed us what to do when we weren’t.
So we coast. We distract. We scroll. We drink. We hook up. We game. We watch porn. We keep moving just fast enough to avoid the silence. But the questions never really go away:
What the hell am I doing with my life?
Why do I feel anxious—even when things look fine?
What do I actually want?
And why does it feel like everyone else got the manual—and I’m still faking it?
Forged gives you space to stop pretending. To get honest. To drop the mask.
You’ll be guided by older, wiser blokes who’ve walked this road. You’ll share firelight and food, real talk and deep silence, wild spaces and brotherhood. And you’ll walk away clearer, lighter, and more grounded in the kind of man you actually want to become.
If you’re ready to stop numbing and start living—this is where it begins.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
PURPOSE
Discover your true calling. Break free from life’s distractions and embrace your life’s mission with newfound passion and determination.
MENTORSHIP
Be guided by men who’ve been where you are. No lectures—just real wisdom, hard-won insight, and the kind of advice you didn’t know you needed.
FREEDOM
Drop the stories that are keeping you stuck. Confront the frustration, anger, and disappointment you’ve been carrying—and move through it.
HEALING
Let go of the baggage you’ve been carrying. Face it head-on—and come out stronger, clearer, and ready for what’s next
MATESHIP
Build real friendships with men who get it. A brotherhood that calls you forward, backs you up, and walks with you through the hard stuff.
CLARITY
Cut through the noise and find space to breathe, think, and reset. Step away from the chaos and reconnect with what matters.
WHAT PREVIOUS ATTENDEES ARE SAYING
The best thing that I’ve ever done for myself, and I know that this was in no small part down to the leap of faith that I made in going for it with very limited foreknowledge
…The leaders were so open and vulnerable, that I felt comfortable to do the same. It’s crazy to think of how us guys are never able to truly express ourselves and the power in having other men to be real and honest with.
This is easily the most important thing I’ve ever done for my own emotional and personal growth. I feel like I learned more about myself in one week than I have in my entire lifetime leading up FORGED!

THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME
Five days in the wilderness. 20–30 men. A crew of experienced facilitators. No phones. No noise. Just space, challenge, and something you won’t find anywhere else.
You won’t get a schedule. You won’t know what’s coming next. That’s part of the process.
This isn’t a retreat. It’s not a workshop. It’s an initiation. Built on ancient wisdom, honest challenge, and hands-on experience—designed to pull you out of the everyday and into something real.
You’ll be tested. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. And if you show up fully, you’ll walk away with something few men ever find.
We don’t share all the details upfront for a reason. Trying to stay in control will only get in the way. Trusting the process is part of the process.

A: At Lake Moogerah in the spectacular Scenic Rim in South East QLD, approximately 1.5 hours west of Brisbane.
Q: How do I get there?
A: We run a bus to Forged from Dinmore Train Station that’s included in your registration fees
Q: What if I am travelling from interstate?
A: We can arrange free transport from Brisbane airport to Forged and back again at the end of the event
Q: Is Forged like a lecture-style retreat or conference?
A: No, men learn best through hands-on experience, so we won’t make you sit and listen to long, boring lectures
Q: Is Forged like a “Survivor-based” test of strength of stamina?
A: No, Forged doesn’t require you to have a certain level of fitness. It is for everyone no matter what your shape and size.
Q: What is the accommodation like?

Q: I really want to come, but I don’t think I can afford it.
A: We understand that it’s a big commitment, but we think it’s worth every cent. Think about asking for sponsorship from those who care about it. But, at the end of the day, if you need help, get in touch. We don’t want anyone who really wants to be there to miss out.
Q: What do I need to bring to Forged?
A: A full packing list will be sent to you prior to the event. Apart from that, all you need is an open mind and a willingness to throw yourself fully into the adventure.
Q: Is Forged safe?
A: Yes. While the experience is designed to stretch and challenge you, your emotional, physical, and mental safety is taken seriously. Every part of the process is held and facilitated by experienced staff.
Q: Will I be pushed to share personal stuff I’m not ready to talk about?
A: You will be invited to go deep and be honest, but never pressured. Forged creates a safe space for you to be completely real.
Q: I don’t know anyone going. Will I feel out of place?
A: Most guys arrive not knowing anyone, and sometimes that actually helps! Either way, by the end of the week, you’ll walk away with real friendships and a sense of brotherhood that runs deep.
Q: What kind of guys go to Forged?
A: All kinds—tradies, students, creatives, quiet guys, loud guys, unsure guys. What they have in common is a sense that something needs to shift—and a willingness to show up and find out what.
