Connection Calls

These open groups are hosted by the ManKind Project USA Elders.  Connection Calls are here for both experienced men and men new to the work. Bring what is in your heart or on your mind, or try out the topic of the day. Come to observe only or participate fully; the choice is always yours.  Calls are 90 minutes in length. 

The calls support men by giving them an avenue to explore their own emotional maturity in a safe environment in the company of Elders. In a world that sometimes separates and isolates, we bring together, share, and listen.

Men’s Groups

Find a list of Open Men’s Groups below. These groups are free and confidential peer support. There will be more added here as time goes on. Right now, all of these groups are meeting by ZOOM – so geography may not be your only selection factor. When face to face meetings come back on line, there will be additional options across the USA.

Description of the New Warrior Training Adventure

WHAT IS IT: The NWTA is a modern male initiation and self-examination. It is a REAL TIME hero’s journey. It is the challenge of a lifetime for many men. It’s safe, supportive and cutting edge. It is NOT a retreat, a conference or a workshop. It is NOT like anything you’ve done before. Many men rank this among the most powerful experiences of their lives.

WHAT YOU WILL GET: You’ll get more than you’re willing to hope for: purpose, passion, vibrancy, joy, healing, connection to self, new energy, clarity, power, freedom, understanding, brotherhood, trust. Over 75,000 men have now taken this journey, and every man’s experience has been unique. This training is led by men certified by the ManKind Project with extensive experience in men’s transformational work. Each process of the weekend is overseen by a team of leaders, providing the highest level of safety and professionalism possible.

ABOUT THE NWTA: It’s a life affirming event, honoring the best in what men have to offer the planet. We are only able to recognize the powerful brilliance of men because we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating… and suffering. This is the paradox of modern masculinity, and it is a lesson we are dedicated to learning and teaching.

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.
