THE MISOGI
CHALLENGE
What is Misogi?
It’s not a workout.
It’s not a cleanse.
It’s a spiritual gut-check disguised as a challenge.
Originating from ancient Japanese Shinto rituals, Misogi was about purification — washing away the mental fog and physical stagnation to reconnect with your true self.
Today, we’ve reimagined it:
One hard thing that pushes you to the edge, so you come back stronger, clearer, and more you than ever.
The Rule of Misogi (Modern Version):
“Do something so hard, you’ll either finish it — or be forever changed in the attempt.”
This isn’t about beating your PB or hitting 10k steps. It’s about doing something you’re not sure you can do — and growing from the discomfort.
Modern Misogi Ideas:
-
Walk 30km barefoot on the beach
-
Train for a Muay Thai fight
-
Take 30 ice baths in 30 days
-
No phone for 7 days (yes, really)
-
Swim across something that scares you
-
Carry a 20kg sandbag up a mountain
-
Or… our favorite: 90 days of total life reset through ice, fire, and purpose
