In the opening session, you’ll dive right into the signature virtue of integrity. Integrity means being true to yourself and being honest, upright and decent in your dealings with others. It becomes the basis for both reputation and self-respect.

For men, integrity may be the most important virtue to cultivate. If you are a man of integrity, you are trusted by both men and women. Integrity means that your words and your deeds are aligned – you do what you say you will do. You’ll be introduced to The Promise Game, a new blame-free methodology for making, tracking and keeping your promises, which you’ll practice throughout the course. During this week, you will:

• Learn how a virtue-driven life leads to happiness, satisfaction and success
• Find the source of integrity inside yourself and take stock of where you’re out of integrity
• See the connection between your virtues, values, behavior and character
• Recognize how limiting beliefs interfere with your ability to create the life you want
• Begin to hold yourself accountable for the promises you make

The delusion of separateness causes most human suffering. When you remember that you’re always connected to everything, love flows in both directions, pain and suffering is manageable, and you can rest, knowing that there are others you can rely upon when needed.

Dr. Robert Moore is a psychoanalytic scientist whose work is at the forefront of masculine psychology and spirituality. He will address our connection to the Great Other as an essential foundation of initiation. The recognition of Other is the cure to the tendency to get lost in pathological narcissism and unconscious grandiosity. He will also discuss initiation and the role of virtues in the initiatory process. During the week you will:

• Recognize your connectedness with everything and know that you are never alone
• Turn on the fountain of love that flows between you and others
• Experience the difference between your Soul and Spirit
• Recognize the impact of narcissism and grandiosity on your relationships
• Deepen your connection to other men, to women, and to your family

Leadership is a quality that is inborn in some people, but can be cultivated by anyone. Keith has spent his entire career working with leaders of large corporations and entrepreneurial companies. He has interviewed hundreds of leaders to discover what qualities make Remarkable Leaders, which he describes in detail in his book The Golden Flame.

In this session, you will explore the virtue of Leadership and practices that will help you bring out your own leadership capacity – whether you lead others or not. Every man must become the leader of his own life. If a man can lead himself, he’ll be able to lead in his family, in his workplace and in his community. This week you will:

• Better understand your relationship to power
• Find your own Inner Leader and invite him out into the world
• Take control of your own life
• Identify the style of leadership that works best for you
• Cultivate your own remarkable leadership qualities

This week you will learn the virtue of Brotherhood, the ability to meet other men while standing in your truth and power. Teachers Bill Kauth and David Kaar, both leaders at The ManKind Project (the largest training group for men), will help you break through the social and cultural taboos that have separated us as men, making us isolated and lonely.

They will share key practices they’ve been honing for decades in their initiatory men’s work, giving you the tools to hone your virtues, cut through the bull and help yourself and others transform. During this week you will:

• Learn how to recognize other high-integrity men
• Heal past wounds from unhealthy relationships with men
• Discover a new sense of what real brotherhood can bring to your life
• Experience the true essence of being and having a brother

Authenticity is more than just being who you are. It’s being ALL of who you are, beyond your beliefs, definitions, roles or boundaries of your ego. When asked, “Who are you?” most men answer with the roles they play: “I’m a businessman” or “I’m a student.” Or “I’m a husband and parent of two children.” But these are merely boxes that keep you from your fullest self-expression.

Jayson Gaddis has spent his life fumbling around and practicing the art of living authentically. He hasn’t fallen prey to mainstream convention or societal expectations. His job is to help you live fearlessly, to call you out when you’re hiding or playing small. The primary vehicle for this self-study is the constant challenge of relationship. He will help you see that the greatest growth opportunities come in your relationships with others. Authenticity – being everything you are – is a key ingredient to success in dating, marriage, friendships and partnerships.

This week you will:

• Learn what the hell “being authentic” means
• Uncover the blocks that prevent you from being completely yourself
• Practice giving and receiving feedback about your incongruencies
• Experience “real,” honest connections with other men
• Practice embodying and speaking your truth

You were born with a specific higher purpose, a spiritual calling, a gift to give, and a mission to accomplish during your life. When you discover and fully live your purpose, you’ll experience a deep sense of fulfillment and meaning in life. And at the end of your life, you’ll have true satisfaction knowing that your life was worth living.

You‘ll learn masterful techniques for getting clear on your purpose, and specific ways you can begin to track and live your Soul’s Code.

David Fabricius has helped people from 142 countries to discover their life’s purpose and to manifest it magnificently. He is an internationally renowned speaker and trainer, a former Special Forces instructor and team leader, and recipient of numerous awards for service to humanity. He is the author of three books, including Heart of the Leader.

During this week you will:

• Discover your life’s purpose that you came into life to fulfill
• Get in touch with your soul’s code — what you are uniquely equipped to do for this world
• Learn how to use your gifts to make a difference and make money at the same time

Passion is a key virtue for a man’s success in life. Nothing great happens without passion. Passion in men is what gets things done and what moves obstacles aside. If you’re light on passion, you won’t have the energy or fortitude to create the life you want.

Satyen Raja is a true man of passion. He is a black belt martial artist, an author and a trainer in the art of applying passion to life. And he knows that deep satisfaction comes from giving your all. This week you will learn practical exercises and tools to live from your passion. He will inspire you to find the source of passion within and to bring it out into every aspect of your life. During this week, you will:

• Deepen your connection to the penetrating force of passion
• Energize your life, your work and your relationships
• Find the source of inspiration and passion within you

Service is the culmination of all the virtues. When you serve and offer yourself to that which is greater than you, all of your virtues align and empower each other. Our life purpose is always about serving others, and our passion emerges when we are doing good. We are most authentic when applying ourselves to a goal that demands the best from us. In serving others, we have the opportunity to be a remarkable leader, in relationship with our brothers. And we can get anything done with integrity.

During this week, you will:

• See the connection between purpose, passion and brotherhood in service
• Recognize that happiness and satisfaction comes from service to others
• Dedicate and consecrate your work to the greater good

This session shares key principles for activating and honoring the sacred masculine in every area of your life. Led by the founder of The Shift Network and co-host of the Ultimate Men’s Summit, Stephen Dinan, you’ll learn how to:

• Honor all the aspects of your being, helping to release judgment or shame
• Create space and time for the many archetypes of your full manhood
• Consecrate your power to the service of a greater good
• Dance with the Divine Feminine in a more liberating way
• Establish a connection to Source at the center of your life

A new level of manly evolutionary leadership is called for. That implies integrity, awakening, authenticity, growth—and even a new level of friendship for men. But even a good heart, a clear vision and the best of intentions are not enough by themselves. What’s required is a whole life of do-able daily practices.
