Embodying The
KING
July 20th one-day workshop by CRAFTED METTLE
In under 5 hours, you will rewire your nervous system to embody the king within.
Discover strategies for promoting trustworthy leadership, and evolve into a better father, partner, and business leader.
WELCOME to the CRAFTED METTLE Experience.
At CRAFTED METTLE, we are redefining masculinity for today's society by fostering an environment where men and individuals with a masculine identity, can connect with their hearts and operate from a generative drive.
We aim to uplift and build, rather than conquer and destroy.
We believe in the power of self-work—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
We are dedicated to personal growth and empower men to lead with purpose, breaking free from conditioned responses learned in childhood.
As Mettle Men, we are committed to helping men embrace a more conscious and constructive version of masculinity.
Embodying the King allows you to transmit empowering leadership through postures and strategies that promote trustworthy leadership. This workshop is designed to help you carry yourself in a way that fosters growth, creates peace, and cultivates harmony in your life.
Through embodied practices and group exercises, we delve into the King archetype, as defined by Carl Jung and further explored by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette. The King represents order, authority, and the ruling principle in the psyche, helping you become a better father, partner, and business leader.
Life's challenges can push you towards negative extremes. Our workshop helps you ground yourself in the wise King, avoiding the pitfalls of oppressive dominance or passive neglect. You'll learn to embody strength, wisdom, compassion, and justice, providing order when others are in chaos.
Through our unique process, we reveal how your nervous system response impacts how you show up in life. Our coaches observe everything you do—how you interact, get comfortable, get uncomfortable, sit, stand, think, walk, and talk. We provide a mirror, allowing you to see where you are stuck and identify opportunities for massive breakthroughs.
This workshop is ideal for anyone experiencing: lack of direction or follow-through, procrastination, inability to speak their truth or follow through with their vision, feelings of being stuck or victimized by life, low self-esteem or lack of self-trust, resistance to taking responsibility, preparation for fatherhood, or becoming a better leader.
Our process helps you identify and address your blind spots, unlocking change. Walk away with an increased level of depth, prepared to lead with wisdom, strength, and compassion.

“I thought I was coming here to be with a group of guys and see how hard we could push ourselves physically, maybe go on some extreme hikes, some intense ice bath work… but really those were just the catalysts to really get in touch with who we are in our essential nature, and begin to dive deep into things that we never even know that are holding us back from achieving our full potential.”

“The biggest part about this retreat is overcoming resistance, and letting go of the way you think about yourself, and letting go of other’s people’s judgements of you, and just expressing who you are. That’s been one of my biggest takeaways - is that it’s ok to be YOU.”
