What Our Events are About
We offer men opportunities to come together, deepen their self-knowledge, stoke the fire of their soul and commit actions to drive their lives forward. From short workshops to entire weekends, all our events are led by veteran squad captains and founder Phil T. Mistberger.
Many events are open to non-members. For some men, this is their introduction to what we do.
Our squads also organize in-person social and personal growth events to build stronger bonds among members and level up their lives. Each summer, squads gather in Vancouver to test their mettle in direct, physical competition with each other at The Wolverine.
What Men Are Saying
“Life changing!”
ARKA Member (Jaguar Squad)
“The weekend was massive. I had a lot of resistance to it. I was overwhelmed by the fast pace aspect. It took me a couple weeks to see how powerful this event was.”
ARKA Member (Online)
“All of the Brotherhood events I’ve attended have been fantastic. The amount of connection and growth that happens in such a short time is unreal. They’re well facilitated and provide a lot of challenges that I took away and worked on long after the event ended.”
Arka Member (Crow Squad)
“Life changing! These weekends act as rocket fuel for the work that we are doing every week. It advanced every piece of growth that I was going through. And when I came home each time I would have the best sex of my life for the next week, and longer.”
ARKA Member (Grizzly Squad)
“These weekends are where groundbreaking workshops, self discovery, reflection and bonding take place—much more in-depth and constructive. It’s also where we get to know one another more deeply.”
ARKA Member (Panther Squad)
“It was awesome to connect with men from around the world in this way and learn that we each face many of the same challenges in our lives.”
ARKA Member (Porcupine Squad)
