The Training Weekend

The New Warrior Training Adventure, NWTA, is an intense, transformative men’s initiation which invites men to forge a deep conscious connection between head and heart. This weekend training offers you a powerful, challenging opportunity to look at all aspects of your life in a richly supportive environment. You will have the opportunity to examine your life and create deeper, more powerful and more joyful ways of living. You will have the chance to create lasting change in your life.

The NWTA is a weekend process of initiation and self-examination that is designed to catalyse the development of a healthy and mature masculine self. It is the “Hero’s Journey” of classical literature and myth adapted to our modern culture. It is a profound inward journey of self confrontation: facing the deep fears and the old wounds that keep our lives from working the way we want. And, it is a gateway into a fellowship of men informed by rigorous honesty and a level of trust that most men never know.

The NWTA is a traditional masculine initiation and geared to the modern-day man. Two words that best describe it are — Radical Departure.

There needs to be such a departure if the training is to be effective. Men are asked to “pull the plug” on their personal computers (their heads) when they reach the training. Everything that occurs takes place in a totally different realm.

Whether the man is on a life upswing, or down in the trenches of his existence, the NWTA will help him take a good, hard look at his life — to see what’s working, and what isn’t — and he will be challenged to transcend his limitations. The man will get a clear sense of what it is he needs to effectively change in his life and become more empowered and centered in his family, work and community.

The NWTA starts at 6 pm on a Friday night and finishes about 3 pm on Sunday. There are games and light-hearted challenges mixed into the weekend schedule; it’s not entirely solemn and serious. The nature of an “adventure” is such that you may look back weeks later and only then realize how much fun you had — or you may smile your way through the entire experience. Keep in mind that each man gets out of the weekend what he puts into it. You’ll be there with up to 35 other participants and almost 40 staff. Each man brings his own sense of humor along with all of his other gifts and baggage.

Men like you. We are fathers, sons, brothers, husbands and lovers. We are tradesmen, professionals, office workers, sportsmen, businessmen, labourers, artists, soldiers, teachers and from every role in life. We are men, of all races, faiths, nationalities and creeds — who come together in a common purpose.

Sometimes men come to the training with the feeling that their lives are not working, hoping to learn ways to live with greater depth and fullness. Sometimes men who are extremely successful come to discover deeper connections to other men, and to themselves. Some men come because they’ve been invited by men they trust — or because they need to learn how to trust. Some men come seeking a challenge, a new adventure to explore. Most men come because they want to learn ways to live richer and fuller lives.

The weekend is run by The ManKind Project and has helped over 30,000 men around the world to find a purpose and improve their lives. We are a not-for-profit, non-religious community of men. The weekend is limited to just 35 men. There will be almost 40 facilitators on site, men just like you who have completed the training and are experienced in guiding you on your journey.

Once you complete your training, we will help you integrate what you’ve learned into your daily life through our eight–week Integration Groups training program.

Absolutely. You are welcome to visit and participate in any of the many open Integration Groups in your area. This will give you a first-hand idea of who we are and what we are about. You are also welcome to attend the Homecoming Celebration for the men who just completed their training weekend.

The New Warrior Training Adventure costs $695 USD.

Payment plans are available by giving post-dated checks or credit card numbers for monthly charges. Scholarships are also available for men who cannot afford the training, or can only afford a portion of it. In almost 25 years of putting on the New Warrior Training Adventure, we have never turned away a man because of money.
