My partner returned on Sunday after a weekend away with the boys. Not any old weekend away though, this was a New Warrior Training Adventure and man, it's pretty cool living with a New Warrior! I am amazed at how much it's affected him, in a positive, glowing, shiny eyed, uplifted, energised, connected, authentic, fantastic way! He hasn't told me much about it, they're not supposed to - and I get that as words take away the magic - but from the little I've gleaned, its affected him profoundly.
The adventure is run by the Mankind Project, which is a not for profit community of men from all backgrounds that support each other to live fulfilling lives. Like I say, when you try to put it in words it sounds a bit simple, wierd almost. What's wierd though about connecting with other men, finding great mates, getting outside your comfort zone and sorting our your mission in life. I mean, wouldn't you want to get all that sorted in one weekend!
Before he went, we tried to research the weekend more, and discovered what we should have known already - that you find what you're looking for on the internet - so found stuff that made him nervous about going. Turns out it was all crap, and that it's the kind of experience you can only appreciate by doing, not by reading.
Interestingly at the graduation last night, there were lots of women there who said that it was through them that their men got to know about MKP. It doesn't seem to come so well from a bloke to another bloke ('hey, what you saying, there's something wrong with me?!") so here's a call to action, ladies, have a read through the website - talk with me - and let's get more New Warriors out there in the world.
