What does it mean to be a man?
We're redefining mature masculinity for the 21st Century - and we want your help!
You made it here. Welcome. You're probably feeling ready to make a change, shake things up, or continue your growth. You may be feeling like there is something missing in your life that could make the difference between surviving and thriving in a complex world. We face serious challenges on our planet today. The ManKind Project helps all kinds of men, from all walks of life face those challenges. We commit ourselves to living lives guided by timeless values. We support one another in taking full responsibility for who we are. We join together to create institutions and communities that will foster peace, safety and accountability in our societies.
Many of us didn't have healthy models for manhood. And when we look at the society we live in, we're deeply concerned about the legacy we are creating. The frequent absence of conscious men of integrity is hurting our children, our families, our communities, our nations, and our planet. We're willing to face the darkness in ourselves that perpetuates this pattern. Together, we're creating new models of mature manhood. We're men mentoring men. The ManKind Project provides conscious, challenging and compassionate mentoring through all the stages of a man's life.
It's easy to get off track. It's easy to lose sight of the men that we want to be. We get it. We've been right there with you. We're not promising you salvation, but we are promising a powerful wake-up call. It's up to you how deep you'll go. You have it in you to reclaim what you've lost, to set a new course, to become the provider, creator, partner and role model that you've always wanted to be.
The demands and pressures that men face today require an extraordinary level of courage, authenticity and tenacity. Are you ready to take a risk and see what life's like on the other side of the door you've come to?
If you're ready to make a bold choice, the door can be thrown wide open. The ManKind Project presents a training for men called the New Warrior Training Adventure. At the NWTA:
- You'll experience a level of energy, a quality of masculinity, a deep sense of safety, joy and laughter, anger and fear, physical challenge, and a connection to life's mystery that we can't explain to you, no matter how hard we try.
- You'll have the opportunity to look with fearless honesty at the life you've created, and make profound choices about what you want to keep, what you want to expand, and what you want to let go of.
- You'll discover your unique connection to manhood, explore a new way of understanding masculinity, and step fully into the man you envision yourself to be.
MISSIONS TO CELEBRATE
Richard Wiener - ManKind Project Greater Washington DC Community
Personal Mission:
I co-create a world of peace and harmony by promoting reconciliation among both individuals and nations.
Action in the World:
Richard Wiener was born in Germany, and lived for six years under the Nazi regime, experiencing first hand the oppression and violence perpetrated against Jews as the only Jewish child in the the school he attended from 1937-1939. He experienced Crystal Night while his father was in Buchenwald concentration camp, and was part of a small number of children allowed to flee to England in 1939. At age 13, he reached the U.S., and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he returned to his hometown and initiated a process of reconciliation with his former Hitler Youth classmates.
MEDIA TO INSPIRE
The Good Men Project
The Good Men Project is about capturing the modern male narrative. It is about giving men an opportunity to talk candidly about themselves and take ownership of the everyday heroism and everyday failures that men in the 21st century experience. Right now there is a book, a DVD and a growing social network through the Good Men Project website. Within a couple of years, the project hopes to have a number of additional books, movies and TV programs developed or in the works. These stories come from soldiers and immigrants, ex-convicts and photo-journalists, fortune 500 executives, musicians and single dads.
Tom Matlack is the founder of the Good Men Project. He grew up very close to where the New England ManKind Project community was born, in a western Massachusetts town called Shutesbury. He doesn't talk a lot about it ...
