About The New Warrior
Training Adventure
Men in Mission Houston's
primary program is the New Warrior Training Adventure. This consists of the New Warrior
Training Adventure weekend (NWTA), an eight-week Primary Integration Training (PIT),
and ongoing Integration Groups (I-Groups).
The concept of the "new warrior" grew out of a need to recapture the
traditional "warrior" role in our society. Our trainings are focused
on empowering men to develop their own missions of service in the world and to
live more powerful lives which are imbued with qualities such as integrity,
accountability, passion, and connection to feeling and the authentic self. As a
result of this work, many men find the courage within themselves to step into
leadership in their workplaces and their communities.
The New Warrior Training Adventure Weekend is designed to help men examine
those aspects of their lives that are non-productive and to begin to create
new, healthy ways of living. This change is facilitated by a series of
activities, including group discussions, games, guided imagery visualizations,
journaling and individual work. Many of these activities are centered on
traditional rites-of-passage rituals. In this tradition, the newly
"initiated" men celebrate their rite-of-passage soon after the
weekend in an honoring graduation ceremony that includes the local New Warrior
community, as well as partners, children, parents and friends.
The eight-week Primary Integration Training gives initiated men the opportunity
to deepen the learning experiences that began for them during the weekend and
to integrate their newly discovered perspectives into their daily lives.
Following the initial Integration training, men are encouraged to participate
in an ongoing I-Group, which meets on a regular basis and serves as a
continuing support network.
