November 2007
Waitakere Ranges, near Auckland
This workshop is an intense men's training, some say a rite of
passage, and a wake up to life as a man.
Ever considered exploring your relationship to, and with, those core
values of; respect, responsibility, integrity, accountability, congruence,
connection to feelings, truth, compassion and much more? So, if
you're looking for that missing "something"? Maybe you already know
there is more to life as a man! You can feel it, but can't really describe
it, or find it....
Simply put; If you choose to attend a "New Warrior Training
Adventure weekend", it's highly likely your life as a man (as you know
it) will never be the same again. During this weekend you will be
challenged in many ways; physically and emotionally challenged right
to the deepest recesses of your being. Are you ready for that? AND
MEN, BE WARNED!!! If you're Not ready, Not willing to do whatever it
takes to achieve that... Then this may Not be for you.
This workshop is an intense, transformative men's initiation which
invites men to forge a deep conscious connection between head and
heart, that offers men a powerful, challenging opportunity to look at all
aspects of their lives in a richly supportive environment.

TESTIMONIALS
What previous graduates have said about the training...
"I went into my NWTA having just been through a marriage break-up
and fi nding I didn't have the skills to stand as an individual outside of
the relationship I'd been in for 8 years. I look back on my NWTA as
the weekend where my life got turned back on and the dead life I had
been living began to change into something live." Paul B.
"Before my weekend I was at a crossroads in my life. I drank too
much, smoked too much, got far too angry and tried to control all who
matter to me. Since the weekend people have commented on how I
have changed. It's not so much that I no longer smoke or drink; I just
feel better about myself and others can see that. I now have purpose,
integrity, a passion to be accountable and all my relationships have
improved." Tony B.
. . . and from the partners who share their lives...
"The Mankind Project saved our marriage and I believe it saved
Scott's life. I am a true believer! This works. I hope more men make
the decision to give themselves the gift. That's what it is, a gift."
Camille D.
"The first thing I noticed was the look in his eyes; there is a new
stability in his gaze. His voice is now clear and firm. I've fi nally got
'my warrior' and I feel incredibly proud of him." Anonymous girlfriend
of a New Warrior.

". . . A more authentic masculinity, however, can be discovered and
nourished. It is a masculinity that is restorative, vital, positive and
energising. Found in the rich soil of honest and non-competitive male
relationships, it grows in male friendships, men's groups and
gatherings, and male community . . ."
