  • This weekend invites physical challenge — but it’s not a bootcamp. You’ll be guided to your edge, not pushed past it. It’s more about embodied presence than peak performance. You don’t need to be an athlete. You just need to be willing to show up with heart, courage, and curiosity.

  • The weekend is just the beginning. Potential pathways are ongoing online BROS circles, support with leadership development training, and being involved in our wider community of men across Aotearoa. It’s not just an experience — it’s the start of a movement.

More Men Sitting Around More Fires

This is the core mission of BROS. When we gather together as men around the fire, we connect to something deep, ancient and timeless.

We are working to develop leaders to tend more fires in local communities around the world - for more men to find warmth, connection and vitality. We invite you to join us on this journey.
