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

The New Warrior is a man who has confronted this destructive "shadow" form . He has achieved hard-won ownership of the focused, aggressive energy that empowers and shapes the inner masculine self. Carried by this new 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.

There are more than 730 New Warriors in the Arizona Community. New Warriors are men who have survived attending a New Warrior Adventure Training Weekend. ManKind Project offers the weekend in Arizona, Utah and throughout the world.

We use a 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 backing other men on their journeys. A core group of trained, certified men lead and guide on the Weekend.

A key truth of the training program is that YOU direct your own training through the responses and decisions you make along your journey. The staff serves as your guides and mentors, but YOU choose your own 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 Arizona New Warrior Trainings take place in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Arizona and in the Uintas of Utah, both in scenic and remote areas. The training site offers men a chance to do their work in a safe and spiritual setting.

We empower men to live to their full potential, trusting that they will co-create the healthy solutions needed by society. We foster loving families, strong communities, and productive workplaces in a sustainable environment.

Our design is twofold. First we help men to live lives of integrity, accountability, and connection to feeling. Second, through our new mission of service, we show up alive and vibrant! This happens with individual men who gain a renewed sense of passion and personal responsibility. It also shows in communities of men working together to build sustainable and exciting lives.
