THE MANKIND PROJECT
The ManKind Project is a not for profit volunteer organization that helps men make the difficult transition into a new sense of purpose and healthy mature manhood. 25 years in the making, now operating in 9 countries.

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.

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 communities.

  • 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.
  • You’ll be introduced to a powerful community of good men here in WA that are striving to change the world one man at a time, starting with themselves.
We run 3 training weekends per year in Perth.

This year sees a number of additions to that which I am offering as a part of The Rite Journey.

Some new initiatives include:

The Rite Journey Primary School Program:
A team is curently working on developing a program for year 6/7 children...it will be a term long series of lessons.

The Rite Journey Day Program:
For Boys An exciting day of action in which we explore Honesty, Integrity, Vulnerability and Encouragement. We use the hook of active games and experiences to draw students in to discussing important issues around being a responsible and respectful man.

For Girls A day in which the girls explore the physical changes and social dimensions of life as an adolescent female...the expectations, pressures and amongst all this, how to stay true to yourself.

Parent Evenings:
Raising Children in the 21st Century Coping with increased media/screen time/technology and decreasing healthy role models, healthy risk taking (anti-bubble wrap) and less human connection.

Mums and sons A session for single mums of boys in which we explore strategies for working with their sons when there may be an absence of a healthy male role model.

Rites of Passage and The Rite Journey Why ceremony, celebration and acknowledgement matter in the 21st Century and what we can do.

Staff PD sessions:
Gen Z – ‘Highly connected' yet hardly connected? Exploring the experiences of the Gen Z student and how we might best work with them.
 
Connecting with boys Andrew reflects on his 20 years of teaching boys and his lifetime of being male and explores what works.

Rites of Passage and The Rite Journey Why ceremony, celebration and acknowledgement matter in the 21st Century and what we can do.

Parent/child Experiences:
For Dads (Male mentors) and their boys Experiential days or weekends that build connection, raise conciousness, provide challenge and enhance communication.

For Mums (Female mentors) and their girls Experiential days or weekends that build connection, raise conciousness, provide challenge and enhance communication

Corporate/Staff Programs:
Enriching connections Programs (that can range from 1/2 day to 3 days) in which the intention is to work with staff to build connection, raise conciousness, provide challenge and enhance communication in the workplace.

It has been exciting to see how The Rite Journey is being implemented incredibly successfully across a broard spectrum of scenarios, from small government schools and youth services for disadvantaged and homeless youth through to large independent schools with over 200 students in each year level. It seems that the program fills a significant void for young people whatever their life experience has been.

I am also excited about the potential for there to be significant cultural change in schools...but also in society as a result of working with young people consciously to move them into a respectful and responsible adulthood.
