Menjaga Mentorship

The Way of the keeper - Winter 2025

Primal Apprenticeship

October–March | 6 Spots Available

Winter is a time of preservation, practice, and deep reflection. It is the time of the Keeper.

Who?

You’re a man who feels the call to live closer to reality — to live, practice, and lead with wisdom. You want to grow stronger, clearer, and more capable of protecting and serving in every way.

Why?

Modern life leaves men distracted, untested, and disconnected from their own nature.
You’ve trained before, but not like this — not in a way that integrates skill, strength, service, and stillness.

You don’t just want another program.
You want a way of life.

what?

For over twenty years, Benjamin Sanford has trained protectors, peacekeepers, and mentors in the old ways of wholeness, awareness, and service.
The Menjaga Way of the Keeper Apprenticeship continues this lineage — a living training ground for those ready to cultivate discipline, mastery, and peace through practice.
