What is MKP
The ManKind Project is men’s community for the 21st Century. MKP is a nonprofit training and education organization with three decades of proven success hosting life-changing experiential personal development programs for men. MKP supports a global network of free peer-facilitated men’s groups and supports men in leading lives of integrity, authenticity, and service.
Why we exist
We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of our society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.
Diversity Acknowledgement
The ManKind Project of Canada acknowledges that it used Indigenous medicines, ceremonies, traditions and symbols in our training without recognition, honouring or acknowledgement.
As the ManKind Project of Canada becomes more aware of this appropriation, we recognize the negative impacts of our actions and inaction.
The ManKind Project of Canada acknowledges the painful impact this has caused to Indigenous Peoples both within and outside the organization. We are deeply sorry for this impact.
The ManKind Project of Canada intends to work with Canadian Indigenous Peoples to appropriately adjust training processes as well as to incorporate acknowledgment, recognition, respect, and gratitude in a good way.

Get Ready for a 48 Hour Adventure that Can Transform Your World as a Man
The New Warrior Training Adventure is a modern male initiation and self-examination. We believe that this is crucial to the development of a healthy and mature male self, no matter how old a man is. It is the “hero’s journey” of classical literature and myth that has nearly disappeared in modern culture. We ask men to stop living vicariously through movies, television, addictions and distractions and step up into their own adventure – in real time and surrounded by other men.
