A retreat to reconnect, go deeper, and continue the journey.

What is Reforged?

A weekend to step away, reconnect, and discover what it means to become a good man.

Reforged is a weekend retreat for young men who are looking for something deeper than the busyness and noise of everyday life. Around the campfire, over good food, through honest conversations and shared experiences, you’ll spend time with other young men who are asking many of the same questions: Who am I becoming? What kind of man do I want to be? How do I build genuine friendships and live with purpose?

This isn’t a conference or a weekend of lectures. It’s a chance to slow down, have real conversations, be challenged, laugh, reflect, and experience the kind of authentic brotherhood that’s increasingly rare in today’s world.

Whether you’ve already completed Forged: A Young Man’s Rites of Passage or you’re simply curious about it, Reforged is for you. If you’ve been through Forged, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with your brothers, reflect on your journey, and continue growing. If you haven’t, it’s the perfect way to experience the CFMF community, meet the men, and explore whether Forged might be the next step for you.

Either way, there are no expectations to have everything sorted. Just come as you are.

Join us for a weekend of brotherhood, campfires, good food, challenge, deep conversations, and the reminder that the journey into mature manhood is one we walk together.

Note: If you’d prefer to pay by direct debit, please email admin@cfma.org.au and we’ll be happy to help.
