The Rising Kings Movement is a community of men committed to their deepest levels of Compassion, Power, and Attuned Leadership.
We Believe That…
- Men must remember we are Kings. Each man possesses the innate majesty and sovereign power to shape the world to a magnificent vision that benefits all.
- The world needs Powerful and Dangerous Warrior Men who are committed to the Sacred Protectorship of all things good and beautiful.
- Most men have mistaken their Sword for a weapon. They have either hidden it away or let it go dull hacking at the world in countless violent acts of selfishness. When a man understands the true meaning and precise use of his Sword he will restore Peace to his Realm.
- Masculinity and male sexuality are fundamentally healing forces in this world. The pervasive and socially acceptable castration of male potency creates only deeper suffering for ALL beings.
- Male liberation takes place through the embodiment and development of self. Our bodies are for more than labor and war. They are storehouses of deep wisdom and intimate intuitive intelligence, worthy of exquisite care and attention.
- Iron sharpens iron. A King is only as good as his counsel. Men must surround themselves with other men who are committed to growth, potency, and leadership. Men spending meaningful time with other men will transform the world.
- A True King knows his throne, and is unafraid to admit when he has fallen off of it.
The Core Team
Robert Schwenkler, Shuja De/Peace, and Joshua Hathaway are the core team at the Rising Kings Movement. They’ve been involved in men’s work and leadership development for a collective 3+ decades.
Our mission: To call forth all men who no longer accept the status quo of dominant culture, and who hunger for quantum steps toward self realization, self expression, and self liberation.
We exist to heal the rifts and wounds of masculinity and unlock each man’s innate Kingship for the benefit of ALL humanity.
We achieve this outcome by delivering the most potent, aligned, and high-value men’s trainings on the face of the planet.
