Misogi
mi.so.gi | \ mee – soh – gee \
Misogi is a Japanese Shinto practice of ritual purification of the body in the cold of waterfalls, rivers & sea. The concept has been popularised in Western culture to denote completing a task so challenging 1 day per year that it profoundly impacts the other 364 days of the year.
Misogi Program: May 7th – November 15th, 2025
What is MISOGI?
MISOGI is Ironmind Institute’s 27 week program, uniquely crafted to raise its participants to new levels of holistic strength. Culminating in the wilds of Connemara with the extreme test of MISOGI Crucible; a non-stop 24-hour challenge designed to facilitate participants in pushing far beyond their perceived limits and achieving an extraordinary feat of human strength.
Available only to those who have completed SISU Program, MISOGI is an opportunity to take one’s life to the next level, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and step deeper into one’s incredible potential. Over 27 weeks participants are guided through the groundbreaking Ironmind Pathway, which brings together for the first time ever under one program, frameworks for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual strength development to unlock untapped human potential and achieve transformative personal evolution.
The second step on The Ironmind Crucible Triumvirate, MISOGI Program is for the curious and uncommon among us; who’s soul whispers for furtherance; not for accolades or achievements but for the fulfillment of a life wholeheartedly lived.
