The Local Circle
A monthly gathering of six to eight men in the Yanchep area. You experience the work, meet other men face to face and decide whether this is somewhere you are willing to show up honestly.
The ongoing practice of Man Smith
The
Smithy
A man can have a breakthrough in a day. The harder work is living differently when ordinary life returns. The Smithy is where men keep practising together.

What The Smithy is
Not another place to talk about changing.
The Smithy is where a small group of men meet consistently to practise the standards they want to live by.
We look honestly at where you are drifting, avoiding or breaking trust with yourself. Then you choose the work and come back accountable for what you did.
There is room for reflection, challenge and support. There is no demand to perform strength or pretend you have everything under control.
How it works
A small group.
Consistent practice.
The Online Circle
A weekly men’s circle held online. It gives men outside the local area a consistent place to speak honestly, listen, reflect and stay accountable from wherever they live.
The Smithy Core
An ongoing brotherhood with the same men meeting consistently. The focus is standards, structure, accountability and applying the work in real life.
The online day and time, local meeting dates, intake process and investment will be confirmed before registrations open.
The path of practice
You do not arrive.
You keep building.
Drifting
You know something is off, but you are avoiding the truth or waiting for life to change around you.
Aware
You can name the pattern and see the cost. Awareness becomes responsibility.
Building
You practise new standards consistently and repair trust through what you do.
Leading
You bring steadiness, direction and integrity into your family, work and brotherhood.
What we practise
The work comes back to ordinary life.

The Smithy will begin with small local and online groups. If you want to be considered, start with a conversation with Tony. Tell me whether you are interested in the local circle, the weekly online circle or the deeper Smithy Core. We will decide together whether the work and the group are the right fit.
