A Circle of Warriors

The Mankind Project is an organization of men working together to improve their lives and help other men. As New Warriors "We are an order of men called to reclaim the sacred masculine provides a model for men to generate and maintain a world in such a way as to include and yet rise above one's own issues for the betterment of one's self, one's own family, tribe, nation and race."
We are all familiar with a man's physical tools (a hammer, a sword, a plow.....) Is this enough? What about integrity, commitment, action and clarity? I know that most men want and need these tools. The New Warrior Training Adventure can help. Join a circle of warriors to ask questions and hear how the adventure has changed men's lives.

Managing Sanity and Resilience Through Divorce/Uncoupling
Presenter: Harry Greenberg
When: Wed, Dec. 17, 7:00-9:00 pm
Open to Men and Women
Divorce or leaving a long-term relationship is often a profoundly life-changing event, but everyone experiences the process differently. What is often helpful is an understanding of both the intellectual and emotional contours of the journey. In this experiential and participant focused workshop, we will explore a variety of factors that play a major role in how one understands, and manages the divorce process, reviewing behaviors to avoid and strategies to employ.
Harry Greenberg is an educator, social worker, and social justice activist. He received his masters degree in social work and his teaching license from the University of Minnesota. He is licensed as a graduate social worker in the state of Minnesota. He has been involved in divorce education since 2000 working at both Storefront and Chrysalis. Much of his passion in this topic came about through the lessons learned in his own divorce. His work as an educator and counselor focus on client self-empowerment, user-friendly education, and the use of narrative and solution focused inquiry.
