What Is The New Warrior
Men have been warriors since the beginning of time and every man has his warrior side. But social forces pressure many to repress this part of themselves. They unconsciously substitute a distorted shadow for the healthy warrior energy so essential to sustaining individual and communal balance.

The New Warrior is a man who has confronted this "shadow" and has achieved hard-won ownership of the highly-focused warrior energy that empowers and shapes the inner masculine. Sustained by this energy, the New Warrior is at once tough and loving, wild and gentle, fierce and tolerant. He lives passionately and compassionately, because he has learned to live his mission with integrity and without apology.

Our Statement of Purpose
"We are an order of men called to reclaim the sacred masculine for our time through initiation, training, and action in the world."

Like a stone dropping into a pond, the New Warrior Training sends ripples through the lives of men, their families, and their communities.

We empower men to live to their full potential, trusting that they will co-create the healthy solutions needed by society. We enable men to live lives of integrity, accountability, and connection to feeling, thus helping them find a renewed sense of passion and personal responsibility. We foster Loving Families, Strong Communities, and Productive Workplaces in a sustainable environment.

Our Training Program
There are more than 1120 New Warriors in the Windsor / Detroit Community. New Warriors are men that have been initiated through attending a New Warrior Adventure Training Weekend. The weekend programs are held in Windsor / Detroit, throughout the United States, and Internationally.

The ManKind Project uses a highly motivated and experienced staff to lead the training programs. Most staff members are volunteers; these men have all been through the training and have a passion for assisting other men on their journeys. A core group of trained, certified men facilitate the key processes on the weekend.

A key truth of the training is that you direct your own journey through the responses and decisions you make during the weekend. The staff serves as your guides and mentors, but you choose your own level of commitment, and the depth to which you will explore the inner terrain of your life.

The weekend Trainings begin on Friday afternoons and finish on Sunday. The Windsor / Detroit New Warrior Trainings take place at various sites in Ontario, West Michigan, and Southeast Michigan. The sites are all scenic and remote, allowing men to do experience this journey in a safe and spiritual setting.
