Join a flourishing Denver men’s group and build real momentum through brotherhood, accountability, and shared growth.
Cities and counting
This is a weekly circle for men who want to show up with more integrity, purpose, and support—alongside brothers committed to the work.
City: Denver | Captain(s): Nick Pierce, Mike Anzivino, Dillon Pierce
In our Denver men’s groups, we gather weekly to do the work of becoming stronger, more grounded, and more integrated men. This is a space for accountability, self-inquiry, leadership development, and honest brotherhood.
We are two squads: Lynx and Wolf.
Our groups are built on consistency, trust, and presence. We maintain strong attendance standards because real growth happens when men show up — for themselves and for each other. Over time, that commitment creates a reliable container where truth can be spoken, challenges can be faced, and meaningful transformation can happen.
We practice speaking honestly, listening deeply, and holding one another to a higher standard. We know how to create space for vulnerability, reflection, and emotion — and we also believe in challenge, directness, and accountability. Brotherhood is not about avoiding discomfort; it’s about helping each other grow through it.
Together, we explore and integrate the four mature masculine archetypes: The King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover. We examine both their strengths and their shadow expressions, learning what it means to lead with integrity, courage, wisdom, and heart.
Our work is about becoming better men — better brothers, sons, fathers, partners, and leaders. Men who know themselves. Men who take responsibility. Men who can be trusted.
If you’re looking for a committed circle of men walking the path with intention, discipline, and depth, this is that place.
Nick Pierce has been a member of Arka since October of 2020 and facilitated Lynx Squad since May of 2022. He works as a software engineer, is a trained relationship coach, loves music and strives to build a life he wakes up excited about each day. He lives with his wife and dog in the Midtown Neighborhood, where his home acts as the meeting place for Lynx Squad.
Mike A. joined Arka in 2021 and lives in Westminster, CO. He started out in an online squad during Covid, then helped solidify the first US in person squad with Nick and a former Captain, Josh. Mike originally joined Arka to heal parts of himself from childhood trauma and to become a better person, father, husband, brother, friend and son. He continues his journey with Arka to help support men who want a space to grow and evolve.
Dillon joined Arka in Sept 2023 because he wanted to be surrounded by men who were growing and would challenge him to do the same. He lives in the Highlands neighborhood in Denver with his wife and their dog. Outside of Arka, he is head of sales for an investment company and likes art (both creating and observing), physical challenges, and community building.

At Arka Brotherhood Denver, our weekly, action-focused circles are designed...
Our community is guided by The Code of the Conscious Warrior designed by our founder Phil T. Mistlberger. It is a 14-point code of conduct that reflects the values of our brotherhood and provides a solid foundation to live by.
Read the Code
“This brotherhood has changed my life in many ways. I’ve learned a lot about self-awareness, compassion, accountability, and trust.”
“It’s so much deeper and impactful than I ever expected. I didn’t realize how much I needed the influence and connection of other conscious men.”
“I have been able to stay off of porn, engage in relationships with more energy, and create structure with consistency in my career goals. I’m connected and accountable to the growth I want in my life.”
“I can bring any issue or obstacle to these men and they will hold space, listen, get curious and challenge me to grow.”
“I’ve lost weight, started running, and begun to develop my own business. I’ve overcome a lack of purpose and turned a contentious relationship with my father into a nourishing and rewarding relationship.”
“Since joining the Brotherhood I have grown in every way possible. I have started two successful businesses and I am actually allowing myself to follow what my heart and soul want to do.”
“I’ve become a better leader, feel more confident and powerful, redefined my identity in true masculinity (rather than performative masculinity), healed my relationships with other men, and learned to identify and train leaders around me.”
“I’ve never been so vulnerable with any group of men in my life. I no longer play small, and I’ve found the strength to express my truth.”
