Ready to awaken the man you want to be?

Changing the world, one man at a time

You made it here. That’s a really great start. You may be feeling ready to make a change, shake things up, or continue the positive path of growth that you’re on. Today we all face serious challenges. Men are faced with tough questions about what it means, and what it takes, to maintain the strength and power of healthy masculinity without the destructive dominance that we see facing us on the news and in our communities. We need strong men to solve the problems that we are confronting, and yet we also need men that are able and willing to access all aspects of the human spectrum of emotions and actions. We need men who are tough and kind, fierce and nurturing, powerful and compassionate. The ManKind Project helps real, powerful, good men join together and create the structures, institutions and communities that will foster peace, safety and accountability in our societies.

The ManKind Project helps men make the difficult transition into a new sense of purpose and healthy mature manhood. You might be ready to take a risk and see what life’s like on the other side of the door you’ve come to.

If you’re ready to make a bold choice, that door can be thrown wide open. The ManKind Project presents a training for men called the New Warrior Training Adventure. At the NWTA, you’ll be challenged and supported to learn more about yourself in 48 hours than you’ve probably learned in the last 20 years.

  • 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.

MKPLA Community Update

by mike on August 20, 2010

There’s been a lot going on within the MKPLA Community, some of which you may have seen, and a lot you may not be aware of. Please take a moment to browse this post for a quick update, and perhaps make the choice to get more involved in whatever way fits for you. Below are some of the updates within MKPLA, along with links to easily obtain more detailed information, in one place.

The intention for this page is to keep it updated with announcements and information about the MKPLA Community, and may be a good ‘Bookmark’ or ‘Favorites’ page for you to remain informed about what’s going on in MKPLA.

MKPLA Website

You may have noticed the changes in appearance, layout and content for the MKPLA website. This is a new and more open design, for general access, with the intention of attracting men from all walks of life to this work and “changing the world one man at a time.”

Some of the more dynamic changes include:

  • About MKPLA – a brief history of MKPLA
  • What We Stand For – includes MKPLA’s mission, and MKP’s vision, values and institutional stances
  • Upcoming Events – a calendar of MKPLA events happening in the near future, including NWTA weekends, MKPLA Council Meetings, Workshops, and Special Events
  • I-Groups in MKPLA – basic information about I-Groups, and a listing of all active MKPLA I-Groups, with links to individual I-Group pages
  • Donations – a dedicated page where men may choose to make tax-deductible donations to MKPLA, through a secure online payment system with Authorize.net, for any purpose they desire (NWTA Scholarship, I-Groups, Leader Body, Elder Body, LKS, etc.)
  • Los Angeles CAA – this is still accessible with your username and password, containing the content from the old website design, documents, MKPLA Brother search, etc.
  • New Warrior Circle – this area at MKP requires the same CAA username and password to access MKP New Warrior Circle newsletter and documents

NWTA Trainings

MKPLA has secured not one, but TWO, new local NWTA training sites in the greater Los Angeles area, which support MKP NWTA protocols without site restrictions. In addition, men may choose to sign-up and use the new secure online payment system for MKPLA, which provides for payment of NWTA in-full, deposit, or balance (after paid deposit), plus the option to DONATE to the NWTA Scholarship Fund, on each individual NWTA training page. Staff and MOS fees may now be paid online, as well.

  • August 27-29 NWTA – YMCA Camp Round Meadow is nestled on 28 acres in the San Bernardino National Forest
  • November 5-7 NWTA – Lions Camp at Teresita Pines is located in the beautiful Angeles National Forest, only 90 miles from Los Angeles.
  • NWTA Staff Fee Payment – men may choose to pay NWTA staff and MOS fees in a secure online method

FREE “Circle of Men” Mini-Workshop

MKPLA is sponsoring its third Free One-Day Experiential Workshop called, “The Circle of Men – A Journey of the Heart.” An introduction to the New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA), scheduled to be held on September 19, 2010.

Oct. 2 MKPLA Community Dinner

The MKPLA Community Dinner is a great way to connect or re-connect with brothers in the MKPLA Community, which will include a wonderful Italian dinner, MKP Founder Service Award Presentations, a Guest Speaker, and a Silent Auction to benefit the MKPLA Community. Please consider donating something of value to the Silent Auction, and all donations are tax-deductible. All initiated men and their families and significant others are invited to attend.
