We have on our side
one great force:
the power of Creation,
with good care
and kindly use,
to heal itself.

New Warriors
changing our world one man at a time

Within each human heart is a seed of spiritual identity and destiny. Each of us has a dream to become whole and complete—to become fully who we truly are. In this, we are like a seed or flower—each of us is a spiritual being unfolding in space and time—in the process of becoming.

Every boy has a dream of the man he wants to become. The best hope for a positive future of human society is to unleash and fulfill this inner urge to be. But it is a lucky man who has been able to fulfill his little boy's dream. Most men encounter obstacles, disappointments and wounds on their road of life.

For thousands of years, men have shared a distinct culture—a brotherhood—which held men together in a common unity, and guided boys into their own responsible, mature manhood within the greater community.

The Mankind Project is an international organization dedicated to restoring authentic men's culture, connection and community.

A New Warrior is a man who has learned to face and overcome his greatest enemy: him self. To achieve this, each man must make a journey to the world within himself to explore the parts of himself that are hidden, repressed, lost, forgotten, under-nourished.
"The real accomplishment in life
is the art of being a warrior,
which is the only way to balance
the terror of being a man
with the wonder of being a man."
Carlos Castaneda

The New Warrior Training Adventure is a weekend intense in which men are supported and assisted to make a journey within themself to discover and understand their dark side—their shadow—and to reclaim the emotions, power and identity that have become hidden in that darkness of his psyche. Disease is evidence of disorder and confusion contrary to the natural balance of our biology. Our body-mind duality means mental illness and physical disease manifest our imperfect unity of being. We are sick because we forget how to act within Earth's ecological order and natural balance. Thus, Earth restoration IS human healing—different facets of one process.

To recover our health, we must learn to participate in Nature's order again. For Nature's ecological communities to return to balance and abundance, each of us must choose to act to regenerate Nature—or continue current rapid disruption of the planet's Web of Life.

But life's goal isn't mere health or happiness, but Destiny.
