Flagship Program · Tier 4
The FORGE
10-Week Intensive
Ten weeks. The Brethren, a cohort of 10 to 15 men. A Myrmidon partner who will not let you fall. Weekly War Room calls. A daily Forge Check. The full Four Pillars curriculum: Vault, Temple, Kingdom, Chalice. Graduation as one of The Worthy, with lifetime alumni access.
Who it's for
The dad re-forging his life. You have stabilized enough to commit ten weeks, and you are done circling. This is not a first step; the free tiers are. It is the rebuild.
The cadence
One 90-minute War Room call each week. A daily Forge Check. Myrmidon accountability between calls. Ten weeks, start to Knighting Ceremony.

The Scholarship Promise
Every full cohort includes a scholarship seat for a brother who could not afford it on his own. Donors can sponsor a full seat, and every dad who adds an extra $500 at enrollment puts another brother through the Forge. This is our fee-waiver policy in action: the program funds its own generosity.

Straight answers
Is this legal advice or therapy?+
Neither. The FORGE is coaching, curriculum, and brotherhood. Your attorney handles the law; a licensed therapist handles clinical care, and we encourage both. In crisis right now? Call or text 988.
What if I cannot afford it?+
Say so in your application. Every full cohort funds a scholarship seat, and the free tiers (daily text, Morning Coffee Hour, Proving Ground) are the same teaching at zero cost. Money is never the reason a dad stays alone.
What happens after graduation?+
You become one of The Worthy: lifetime alumni access, and most graduates stay on as the welcoming committee for the men behind them.
How do payments work?+
Pay in full or 3 monthly payments of $849. Program revenue funds the free tiers and the scholarship seat. Details of how program revenue supports the mission are published on our funding page.
