VISION

We reclaim the spiritual initiation of men through experiential journeying into the True Self, creating a tradition for future generations.

MISSION We commit to:

. Directing men in lifelong spiritual learning.
. Training men to be Elders.
. Maintaining ongoing relationships with program participants.
. Providing Men's Rites of Passage.
. Developing additional rites as needed.

PHILOSOPHY We believe:

. Every man is a Beloved Son of God.
. Men are capable of serious spiritual journeys.
. Our message is grounded in the Christian Paschal Mystery while
integrating the symbols and rituals from other religions and cultures.
. Men must seek to improve their conscious contact with God through
prayer and meditation.
. Men must have the affirmation and guidance of wise mentors.
. Men have a need and responsibility to mentor future generations.
. In a universal message of love and faith that transcends the
boundaries of race, nation, culture, gender, economics/class, politics, sexual orientation and religious differences.
. Men must seek honest mutuality in their relationships with women in
thought, word and deed.
. Men must recognize and critique their own power with regard to
women, minorities and the poor, and use their power for justice in the world.
. There is a need for collaborating with like-minded groups and other
faith traditions.
