"Previous cultures throughout history always intended authentic masculine initiation. But their vision and their cultural context of the world was necessarily limited. Since the first earthrise photograph from outer space, we have entered a new mythological era. For the first time in human history, we have before us the possibility of authentic masculine initiation - an initiation into the global brotherhood."
Dr. Robert Moore Coauthor of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover
"The truth is, I was afraid of this training. Even though I've written about men and worked with men for many years, the fact is -- as I discovered on the Weekend -- I didn't really trust men. I'm glad I overcame my fear. This was the most powerful training I've ever done, and the changes it started in me have been both deep and positive." --
Mark Gerzon Author of A Choice of Heroes
"In 1983, I wrote The Secrets that Men Keep. After experiencing the New Warrior Training I'm rewriting that book. It's the most important men's work occurring in the U.S., and perhaps in the world, today."

"I use the Mankind Project's New Warrior Training as an adjunct for my treatment plan for my clients. What I have found is that it speeds up their recovery process, and therefore, makes my job easier! Men come back more honest and with a deeper understanding of personal integrity. On the weekend, many experience what it eels like to be loved and valued for the first time in their lives. They come back more whole, less defended, and more able to make positive life changes."
Patti Henry M. Ed., LPC author of "The Emotionally Unavailable Man: A Blueprint for Healing."
"The New Warrior weekend is a year's worth of intense personal growth in one weekend. It is ideal for all men who want to improve their life and become a better man."
George P. Joseph, LCDC CEO of The Right Step - The Next Step Programs
"When I recommend the training I speak to the man of two aspects of the training that impacted me the most on my own weekend. 1st, the opportunity to take a look at how unconsciously they may be living their lives. Many men, if not most go through life unaware of how wounds from the past are unconsciously directing their behavior and beliefs in the present and unaware of the true cost to them in relationship and self-esteem. The Weekend offers them a chance to "wake up" and live a conscious and examined life with purpose and mission. Of course many of us got so much more from our experience. The 2nd is the opportunity to join a community of men who are living a life in Mission and Accountability. This was the unexpected gift to me that has enhanced my life enormously."
Raymond St.Germain, LCSW, Director of Mobile Assessment Services West Oaks and Cypress Creek Hospitals
"or the men in the world for whom all seems to be working, I have found that men who are perhaps bored, met all of life's material challenges and achieved success in life find the weekend to be a terrific way to meet and connect in a real authentic way they would otherwise not find."
William M. Taylor, MSW President & CEO for the Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston
"Many times as therapists, we reach a point in treating a client where they get "stuck" and seem to not want to dig deeper into their issues out of fear or trust or safety. Warriors provides the support and trust and safety that may be an issue with individual counseling.The Warrior weekend lets the client get past his fears and get gut level honest about what has been buried deep down inside for so may years.The the healing can begin, the self-esteem raised, the Warrior feels like a Man again."
Daniel Gerard, LCDC CEO for Extended Aftercare, Inc.
...and from the partners who share their lives!
"I believe mankind would benefit greatly from having more New Warriors in the world. Men that acknowledge and integrate all parts of themselves, including the child and the wild man. I value having a New Warrior in my life and I encourage all men to undertake the training and its challenge of dealing with the unexplored (shadow) parts of themselves to realize their full potential."

"The Mankind Project saved our marriage and I believe it saved Scott's life. I am a true believer! This works. I hope more men make the decision to give themselves the gift. That's what it is, a gift."

"The first thing I noticed was the look in his eyes; there is a new stability in his gaze. His voice is now clear and firm. I've finally got 'my warrior' and I feel incredibly proud of him."
