The 5th Round
When the circle ends, this is the room where brothers sit together, slow down, and make sense of what’s really moving inside.
You’ve already stepped into the fire. You’ve told the truth, taken risks, let yourself be seen. The 5th Round is where you land after that — a quiet, honest space to sit with what’s been stirred up, name what you’re noticing, and feel into what’s being asked of you now.
Your privacy and pace are respected here.
The circle opens you. This room helps you live what it revealed.
After a powerful round, most men are sent back into their lives with a full heart and very little space
to sit with what actually shifted. The conversation moves on, the group closes, and the moment gets buried
under emails, dishes, and deadlines.
The 5th Round exists so that doesn’t happen.
It’s not about re-running your process. It’s about slowing down enough to feel what’s underneath it,
to notice the pattern it pointed to, and to consider what wants to change in how you show up — as a
partner, father, leader, and man among men.
- You’ve touched something raw in circle and don’t want to lose it in the noise of daily life.
- You sense there’s a deeper pattern underneath your work and want language for it.
- You don’t need more “content” — you need a room where it’s safe to be honest about where you’re at.
- You value brotherhood that is calm, direct, and respectful of your pace.
This is not therapy. It’s not a performance space. It’s a table where men sit together, speak plainly, and listen closely.
Men who are already in the work.
The 5th Round is for men who have already stepped into men’s work, shadow work, or initiatory circles. You don’t need a pep talk to show up. You’re here because something in you is ready to deepen.
- You’ve done MKP, men’s circles, therapy, or coaching and want more intentional integration.
- You’d rather be called forward than managed or fixed.
- You’re willing to listen as deeply as you share.
- You’re not here to impress anyone — you’re here to be real.
This is not a crisis space or a place to dominate the room.
We’re not a replacement for professional mental health support, and we don’t reward performance or drama.
If you’re looking to argue, preach, or stay in your story, this likely isn’t the room for you.
If you’re ready to be honest, listen, and explore what’s moving beneath the surface — you’ll be at home here.
A simple, steady container.
The 5th Round is designed to feel like sitting at a table with good men and clear presence — not a performance or a rushed check-in. There’s structure, but it’s light enough for real conversation.
We arrive, connect, and slow down together. You’ll be invited into a brief grounding practice so you’re not just talking from the neck up.
Each man has space to share what’s lingering after a recent piece of work — what moved, what’s unsettled, what feels different. No fixing, no advice, just clear listening and reflection.
Together we begin to name the deeper pattern and consider one concrete way that might shift in your real life. You leave with clarity you can feel — not a dozen new ideas.
Men who live this work, not just talk about it.

A few things to know before you join.
If something in you doesn’t want to rush past this…
Then you’re exactly the kind of man The 5th Round was created for. You don’t need to be “ready” in some perfect way. You just need to be willing to sit down, tell the truth, and listen — to yourself and to other men walking a similar path.
