About The ManKind Project
The ManKind Project® is a global not for profit organization [501(c)(3) in the US] that conducts challenging and highly rewarding trainings for men at every stage of life. We help men through any transition, men at all levels of success, men facing almost any challenge. Our flagship training, described by many as the most powerful men's training available, is the New Warrior Training Adventure. The ManKind Project (MKP) is not affiliated with any religious practice or political party. Your beliefs are welcome. We strive to be increasingly inclusive and affirming of cultural differences, especially with respect to color, class, sexual orientation, faith, age, ability, ethnicity, and nationality.
What is MKP? It's a new way of being for men....
and the hope for creating a new culture out of that new way of being for humanity.
- We are not just about simple survival - we teach men how to take care of themselves and thrive.
- We are not the "old" warriors - we do teach men to use their archetypal warrior energy.
- We are not a religion - we do encourage men to find and trust their own spirituality.
- We are not a big business - we do use sound economic principles and good management.
- We are not a civil rights or social justice organization - we do love justice and stand for human rights.
The easiest way to find out more is to talk to men and women whose lives have been affected by MKP. If you would like to connect to people in your local area, please see our Communities Page
