Diana I had a similar experience with them closing ranks when I questioned their integrity as a group after my partner became violent with me and I questioned their processes. They are ungodly practices and I thank God that my partner, now fiancé has left the group. My heart truly goes out to you and your traumatic experience. Perhaps a woman’s support group should be formed for the survivors of The Mankind Project.

I initiated in a MKP weekend a year ago. My initial experience was extremely positive. My subsequent experience in iGroups has been extremely mixed for some of the reasons mentioned above. Not sure about my commitment going forward. My purpose is not to share personal information, but to keep this thread alive. This is a constructive discussion.

I went through the MKP new warrior weekend about 7 yrs ago. I ended up being re-traumatized (had been abused as a child). Some old post traumatic stress was activated. Took me several weeks to get grounded and feel solid again. Most of the men going through it with me seemed to have had a good experience. Parts of my experience were positive, but the internal backlash from the weekend was brutal. The methods used were highly directive, confrontive, manipulative and a bit cult-like.

Jay, Your comment is clear evidence of gross stupidity and a spiritually unconscious mind; and the remarks promote only more separation and judgement between men and women. Makes me wonder if you are young or simply juvenile.

I’m writing this reply through a flood of grateful tears, Art. Thank you, thank you, from my heart to yours for sharing your wisdom and compassion. I feel heard and cared about for the first time since this nightmare began. I also feel deep appreciation for your confidence in an intrinsic purpose and sincerity of the mission of MKP. Your faith validates my original faith in this group. I did believe they were sincerely committed to helping men heal and restoring beauty in a mans wounded soul. I was betrayed by my brothers in my darkest hour, but my husband was betrayed even more cruelly, because he has lost yet another piece of his soul. I know judgements are harmful, and have worked on this one for a long time. I understand now the “brothers” who failed and abandoned me have first been failed by their own leadership. Maybe I am still a bit cynical but I believe money and personal control agendas drive this thing. Someone is responsible, but only God can know the truth about this. Today I live by Grace. I have moved on with the help of many Earth Angels who help me heal my deep emotional wounds, and find the strength to face cancer without the support of my husband. Maybe I’m a better person for the long suffering of my family. Bless you Art. Thank you. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God. May you always know the Love you share so generously with others.
