One of the most impactful experiences I’ve had in recent years was taking part in the signature program of the ManKind Project, the New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA) weekend. You can relax, it looks nothing like the above picture, but you might feel that inner warrior in a brand new way. I learned of the weekend thanks to my Real Men Feel show when we spoke with Boysen Hodgson in episode #26.
I’ve been to dozens of multi-day personal growth events, but never one exclusively with men. I hoped I would gain some clarity around my working with men, and I was also looking forward to learning more about the ManKind Project and how they run an event as I do see live events for Real Men Feel someday soon.
I gained all of that and more… a LOT more. All my expectations were insanely exceeded.
As I like to do when I’m venturing off into the unknown, I made a “before” and “after” video. So here they are.

Check out NWTA, they are held all over the world. I’ve heard many men say they don’t know where to start, where to find like-minded guys who are sick of the way things have been. Well, this weekend may very well be that place for you. Look at the dates, find one near you and sign up! I cannot recommend this program enough!
I like going into things without knowing much about them. I prefer being surprised over having confident expectations of what will happen. If you want more details on the New Warrior Training Adventure, without giving away surprises that may be in store, give a listen to the October 25 episode of Real Men Feel; listen to it out here.
If you’ve done the NWTA, let me know what you thought of it. Post a comment or send me a message; [email protected].
The journey continues.
