The Primary Integration Training (PIT) has been a cornerstone of building and strengthening ManKind Project Integration Groups (I-Groups) for nearly 30 years. This version of the PIT was launched in 2020, and contains the most powerful processes and exercises of the PIT presented over 8 online sessions OR presented in person as a weekend intensive or as a weekly in-person meeting for 8 or 10 weeks.
The completely redesigned PIT Manual contains a rich array of resources, video links, reading, and exercises to keep you growing and learning – in multiple learning styles.
This version of this flagship training for men’s groups is part of the series of trainings in the ManKind Project USA’s Core Training Series: After the Adventure, PIT, I-Group Facilitation Training (IGFT), and I-Group Leadership Skills Training (IGLST).
Embarking on a committed journey of growth with a group of men is challenging and exciting. It’s a tremendous opportunity to deepen your self-awareness and build bonds that can last a lifetime.
