Culture has convinced an entire generation of men that success is a substitute for initiation.
It is not.

Initiation moves men into their hearts and bodies. It makes them responsible for something greater than just themselves. Initiation is a portal into the moral responsibility of being in coherence with the highest version of themselves.

The Fourth Quarter is seven months of deliberate, structured initiation. Built around the two great wounds every man carries: the first is what they inherited, the other with culture's failed attempt to invite maturation. This wounds are held by a brotherhood who are done playing small. Culminating in seven days in the Canadian wilderness where the land itself and ritual becomes the teacher.

This is a container built to reveal the man you were always meant to become.

THE INVITATION 

men are not broken. They are uninitiated. There is a difference.

LET'S DO THIS!

Built for men who are done performing.

You don't need to be in crisis to join this. You need to be honest...Honest enough to say that something is missing. That the achievements haven't filled the hole. That your relationships, your leadership, your body, your inner life, could all be operating from a much deeper, more integral place. We are dedicated to integrity & coherence... Grounded men create safety. Men rooted in their values anchor relationships, families, communities, cultures, and the world.

Full biometric testing, blood panels, and a DEXA scan at the start. Then build the physical infrastructure that your mission demands.

GET ACCOUNTABLE to your body

Reclaim what was never properly handed to you: provision, protection, sovereignty, and the sacred duty of the masculine.

FACE YOUR FATHER WOUND

Examine the beliefs, patterns, and emotional imprinting that have shaped how you relate to women, to comfort, to need, and to yourself. Then heal them.

FACE YOUR MOTHER WOUND

Step over the line.

Learn from the men and traditions that carry the oldest knowledge of what it means to become fully initiated into manhood.

Sit with an elder

The kind forged in difficulty, honesty, and shared thresholds. Not networking. Not a peer group. A true band of brothers.

Build real brotherhood

Including the things numbing your sensitivity, killing your vitality, and keeping you locked in a loop. Your vices numb your brilliance.

Get honest about what you consume

This is where the months of work become initiation. Held deep in the Nordegg region and the open lands of Alberta, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and terrain that has held men in ceremony for thousands of years.

Everything we've curated is intention. This landscape is the teacher.

THE LAND BETWEEN

THE BISON HUNT

Survival, archery & Protection

Indigenous exploration and Father threshold

Travel through the Columbia Icefields. The journey itself is the practice. Nourished, present, and moving through one of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth together as a group.


We will pursue and hunt wild bison. And then we'll learn how to honour the animal and process it ancestrally, together. It will be a beautiful experience of men providing for themselves and each other. One of the oldest masculine acts. The dinner that night is earned. Cooked together. Eaten in full gratitude and presence.

We'll hold the wound of provision, protection, and sovereignty in ceremony. Sweat lodge guided by an Indigenous elder. Tobacco. Prayer. The lineage of manhood, honoured and passed forward.

Full-day survival training. Bowmanship and marksmanship. This is such an integral part of what it means to be confident in your ability to protect and provide. 


MARK GROVES 

Held by men who have walked it themselves

Mark Groves spent over twenty-five years studying the mechanics of human connection — not just academically, but through the wreckage and revelations of his own relationships. What began as a deeply personal reckoning with patterns, wounds, and the stories we inherit, became the foundation of one of the most trusted voices in the world on authentic connection and the human experience.

Through his platform Create The Love, his wildly popular podcast, and his work reaching millions across social media, Mark has spent over a decade helping people understand why they love the way they love  and what it costs to keep abandoning themselves to do it. His work sits at the intersection of attachment science, emotional depth, and the radical permission to become who you actually are.

In a world getting seemingly more digital, Mark is focused on bringing people back into connection and recalibrating their relationship both to technology and each other.

As a husband, father, and man who has done the hard interior work himself, Mark brings to this mastermind a commitment to coherence, integrity, and a hard-won map, the kind that only gets drawn by walking through the fire, not around it.

Branden Collinsworth has spent more than two decades and over 30,000 coaching sessions helping people rebuild themselves from the ground up, work he learned firsthand surviving gang violence, homelessness, and his own mental health struggles in East Las Vegas.

He built award-winning gyms in Las Vegas and became one of the only trainers in the world signed to Nike, where he co-created Nike Yoga and was named a US Ambassador of Yoga by India’s Ministry of AYUSH. A seven-year pilgrimage across six countries grounded his work in the physical, psychological, and spiritual traditions that have initiated men for centuries. In 2016 he founded Warrior Retreats, which has guided more than 350 people and directed over $350,000 into the communities in Peru that host the work.

A keynote speaker, TED alumnus, and doctoral student in neuroscience, he has spent his life fusing human performance, applied psychology, somatic healing, and ancestral wisdom into a single body of work. The science of transformation in one hand, the practices that have forged men for generations in the other. It is the same rigor that rebuilt his own life, and it is what he brings to every man who steps onto this ground.

The Body As a Foundation

We want to build on the wisdom of our ancestors, while also honouring the data that comes from the tools of modernity. In essence, we build the floor first. A regulated nervous system and a strong body are what let the deep work hold.

For seven months we treat the body as the foundation everything else is constructed upon. We measure where you stand, create from the insights of your own data, and track your progress the whole way through.

OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Measured with precision

A program built for you

The tools to hold it

Regulation as a skill

Full biometrics, a blood panel, and a DEXA scan open the container. We see exactly where you stand, then we build from hard data.

 Every man receives a customized performance protocol, tracked month over month across the seven months. Strength, sleep, recovery, vitality.


You will learn to work with your own nervous system, so presence and power become a capacity you own and command at will.

A Whoop tracker, a Brick, and a Daylight computer. The instruments of regulation, so the change holds when you go home.
