The Administrative Council will meet tomorrow (Monday, Oct. 27) at 6:45pm (following dinner at 6pm) to discuss our upcoming Capital Campaign and approve some of the items required to be submitted at our Annual Church Conference on Sunday, Nov. 2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManKind_Project: MKP has its origins in the mythopoetic men's movement of the early 1980s, drawing heavily on the works of Robert Bly, Robert L. Moore, and Douglas Gillette. In 1984, Rich Tosi, a former Marine Corps officer; Bill Kauth, a social worker, therapist, and author; and university professor Ron Hering, Ph.D. (Curriculum Studies); created an experiential weekend for men called the "Wildman Adventure" (later renamed "The New Warrior Training"[8]). As the popularity of the training grew, they formed a New Warrior Network organization, which would later become The Mankind Project.[2][9]
MKP states:
The New Warrior Training Adventure is a weekend process of initiation and self-examination that is designed to catalyze 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.[10]The weekend is intended as a male initiation ritual. MKP states that those who undertake this journey pass through three phases characteristic to virtually all historic forms of male initiation: descent, ordeal and return. Participants surrender all electronic devices (cell phones, watches, laptops, etc.), weapons (guns, knives, etc.) and jewelry for the weekend. This was explained as way of removing the "noise of a man's life", separating the man "from what he is comfortable with,"[11] and ensuring the safety of all participants.[12]
Participants agree to confidentiality of the NWTA processes, to create an experience "uncluttered by expectation" for the next man and to protect the privacy of all participants. MKP encourages participants to freely discuss what they learned about themselves with anyone.
Trainings usually involve 20 to 32 participants, and some 30 to 45 staff. The average cost of the weekend course is $650.[13] The course usually takes place at a retreat center, over a 48-hour period, with a one-to-one ratio of staff to participants.[11]
