Step 2 of 5

Commitment and scheduling

The Forge only works if every brother shows up. One absence affects the whole cohort. Be honest about your schedule.

Sessions are 90 minutes each, held weekly over 9 consecutive weeks. Missing more than one session is grounds for removal to protect the cohort's depth.
Commitment requirement

We require full commitment to protect the depth of every session. We'd love to see you in a future cohort when your schedule allows — please check back.
