The Men’s Work – Impact
IMPACT is designed for, and by, men under 40. This 7 week live online training takes men on a journey into persona and masks. It confronts the 'double-lives' that many young men get stuck in, and it takes a fiercely honest look at men's sexuality. It’s time to look to the horizon and confront the enormity of the journey before us – both in its invitation to greatness, and with the natural fear that arises.
The Men’s Work – Living Through Disruption
We’re all feeling it. Many of us are clinging desperately to the way it used to be, wishing we could make this all go away. In the back of our minds, we know things are never going to be the same. Things have already changed. Navigating the dark night of our times, and embracing the disruption to create new pathways for personal transformation and adaptation is a revolutionary act. This is the time to meet uncertainty with courage and resolve, and your choice to participate in “Living with Disruption” will equip you with new ways to meet the challenge of today.
The Men’s Work – Crossroads
Is there a gap between who you say you are, or who you think you are, and how you actually show up. Through a clutter of conflict … through the lens of your next tasks … through the tyranny of timelines and to-dos … we lose sight of our power to create and impact our worlds. GO FROM TOUCHING ON A NEW WAY OF BEING … to seeing, being, and living from your authentic values and core beliefs. Deeply confront your resistance. Figure out what’s been getting in the way of you moving forward in your life and take tangible steps to building the world you want.
The Men’s Work – A Circle of Men
Do you want to join a men’s group? Join a circle of men committed to creating a new men’s group. Participants will learn over 10 weeks the key elements and tools to launch their new group. After the 10 weeks you will be invited to keep the group going for at least 3 months.

Introduction to Conflict Resolution
Have you experienced a conflict in an I-Group that led to men leaving the group…or leaving MKP? Many of us have experiences in men’s groups demonstrating that a clearing is NOT a conflict resolution tool. It was never designed to be that…and yet many of us have made the mistake of trying to use it that way. It’s kind of like trying to remove a screw with a hammer. Some conflicts need a different approach. This training teaches a simple conflict resolution process knows as the MKP “tool kit.”

Waking Up To Whiteness
In many ways, racial understanding and race relations have improved very little for nearly 100 years. Inequity, violence, and injustice are deeply embedded features of American society. The damage, historical and ongoing, is incalculable – and undeniable. However, many are through with being silent and are raising their voices for systemic change, and are recognizing that uncomfortable conversations are a critical part of creating a more just society. For us to do our work as White men, without putting additional burden and aggression on our brothers and sisters of color, we’ve created this container for us to learn and converse amongst ourselves. At the same time, many of the learning materials we will use in this course were created by people of color to ensure their voices are being heard. This course is designed to look back to how we got where we are today, and then look forward to creating change.
