The unending demands of modern life can place great burdens on all of us. Have you compromised your dreams for security?  Have you traded in your ideas for prestige and material gain? Are you working to please other people?

Many of us have lost our vision. We have sacrificed our life's mission, our deeper reason for being alive. As men, we have been taught to function from our heads, to make logical decisions. We have learned to endure psychological and physical pain without complaint.

We suffer from isolation. We are prone to addictions and to acting out our feelings in dysfunctional ways. We are afraid of intimacy. We drink too much, smoke too much, work too much, and worry too much.

There is another way.

The ManKind Project offers men the opportunity to look deeper into their lives and make healthy choices about their future. We offer The New Warrior Training Adventure, a men's weekend that empowers men to fulfill their potential. We are inclusive and affirm cultural differences, as well as differences with respect to faith, age, color, class, sexual orientation, gender, ability, ethnicity and nationality.

Our mission promises to enable men to live lives of integrity, accountability and connection to feeling. We promise to be of service to community at large as individual men with a renewed sense of passion and responsibility and as communities of men working together to build relationships.
