We are not just about simple survival: we teach men how to take care of themselves and thrive. We are not a shamanic tribe, but we teach men to stand in the mystery. We are not the old warriors, but we teach men to use their archetypal warrior energy. We are not a religion, but we encourage men to find and trust their own spirituality. We are not a business, but we use sound economic principles and good management. We are not a civil rights or social justice organization, but we love justice and stand for human rights. What are we ?? We are a new way of being for men.... and the hope for creating a new culture out of that new way of being for humanity...

The New Warrior Training Adventure The New Warrior Training Adventure is a singular type of life affirming event, honoring the best in what men have to offer the planet. We are only able to recognize the powerful brilliance of men because we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating ... and suffering. This is the paradox of modern masculinity, and it is a lesson we are dedicated to learning and teaching. 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. The only devils in the world are those running...

Ken Rogers

Ancient Hawk

Personal Mission: To create a world of safety and peace by helping men heal their wounds.

Action in the World: Ken is a member, leader, and elder of Men in Mission, an organization of more than four thousand men in the Houston area. Men in Mission helps men from all walks of life to become better fathers, sons, husbands, employees, leaders, and servants. Because of Ken’s influence, men throughout Houston and places across the country have turned away from drugs, crime, infidelity, gambling, abuse, and poverty to embrace lives of integrity and service. In recent years, Ken has turned his attention to building Men in Mission into a strong service organization. Under his leadership, men are now serving others across the city of Houston – at soup kitchens, churches, homeless shelters, and wherever volunteers are needed. To many, many men in Houston, Ken is a hero, a father figure, a mentor, and an incredible model of what we can all become.
