This meet up is a free one-day experiential workshop introducing men to the work of The Mankind Project (www.mkp.org). The ManKind Project flies in the face of rigid stereotypes about the "Sensitive New Age Man" AND the "Macho Man". We ask men to go right up to the edge - and beyond it - in a culture that seems to be comfortable with mediocrity and passivity from men. We ask men to stop living a vicarious adventure through their TV's and step into a real time adventure to win back their passion for life. We ask men to confront the real problems in their lives and to get 100% honest about who they are. Some men have a really hard time doing that. Many of us did too, but we took the risk anyway.
Intention and commitment - What we practice and why.
• Emotional Authenticity - Because we believe in honesty and wholeness ... we practice emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
• Personal Responsibility - Because we value integrity and accountability ... we take 100% responsibility for our feelings, and we own the impacts - both positive and negative - of our choices and actions.
• Leadership Mastery - Because we believe that role models change lives ... we practice highly principled personal, interpersonal, and group leadership.
• Empowered Mission - Because we value generosity, service, and connection to spirit ... we explore and live from our deepest purpose.
• Supportive Community - Because we care for ourselves and the generations to come ... we create a place for men from all walks of life to learn and teach in a safe, respectful, challenging, and inclusive peer-network.
Is your life missing “something” you can’t quite figure out? Is your whole life a hunt for fun or an escape from pain and yet you know there should be something more? Do you have a lot of acquaintances but no real friends that you can trust and talk to? Is your life right on track and going great, and you want to experience new opportunities and growth? Give yourself a gift…take one day out of your life and experience personal growth work within a contemporary men’s group.
If this work speaks to you, there is more of it waiting for you. The New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA) is a modern male initiation and self-examination. We believe that this is crucial to the development of a healthy and mature male self, no matter how old a man is. It is the "hero's journey" of classical literature and myth that has nearly disappeared in modern culture. You can read more about the New Warrior Training Adventure at http://mankindproject.org/new-warrior-training-adventure
After the NWTA, there is an opportunity to build your own circle in which to continue this work in your daily life. These are called Integration groups (I groups) and there are dozens of them meeting each week in the Puget Sound area and many, many hundreds around the world today.
This is an experiential workshop for men, exploring what it means to be a man in today's world. We will take a deeper look at accountability, integrity, shadows, mission... Learn more
