Attending this weekend gave me the tools I need to become the man I want to be. With the help of other men, I was able to look at myself, recognize obstacles that keep me from being happy as a man, and leave stronger and more confident in my manhood. All this can only be accomplished with the help of other men. Thanks WCMC.

The impact of the weekend is sinking in. The honor, courage, trust, and love that we showed and gave to each other is now part of me. Thank you MEN.

I’ve worked in the fire department for nearly 25 years, surrounded by men but never fully feeling part of the group. At the retreat was the first time I’ve felt fully accepted as an equal, as a man, in a group of men. This has instantly shifted the relationships with all men in my life—I now enter relationships at an equal level. Oh, and I stopped arguing with my wife as soon as I got home. Now I have a lot of time for other things I/we like to do.

In the past I have heard the phrase, "Don't give your power away". During the weekend, I found my power, I expressed it, and a whole world opened up for me. Thank you again.

The men’s weekend showed me the wisdom and power of a group of men helping one another. It’s essential for any man who wants to live his life more fully, lovingly, and wisely. As much as we care about the women in our lives, they cannot help us grow into the men we want to be. That takes the wisdom and experience of other men with the same goal—to grow. I strongly encourage others to seek out this training.

The Men’s Weekend was just what I needed. Within the first hour, I gained a new perspective on myself that is helping me to be the man I want to be. And I was able to apply the insight and tools I got from the weekend to my marriage immediately.

The Weekend changed my life. I learned the importance of being among other men, real men. I learned to find and face the deep-seated issue that kept me from being the man I wanted to be. With the help of the others, I silenced the little boy inside, and took my first steps as a man who does not hold back.

Unbelievably awesome for me. I came home a different man. I can't believe how valuable it was for me. And I know I have some great men as new friends for life.

For years I haven't felt deserving of a woman's love and affection, and I haven't felt man enough to be around other men. And I have avoided those relationships like the plague. So I forced myself to do a men's weekend. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Just being around other men helped me to realize that I wasn't alone, that other men felt the same way I did. It allowed me to finally be myself around others and helped me take a look at my values. It also gave me confidence to be with a woman, and more importantly, to be myself when I am with her. Needless to say, this men’s weekend ROCKS!

I want to thank WCMC for last weekend. I've done some personal growth and workshops before that have left me feeling brain drained and that I am wrong or needed fixing. After our initial weekend with WCMC I feel very positive about myself and the group of guys I was with. I was able to accept the man I am as well as each individual in the group. We have a lot more in common than I had thought possible. It f*cking works!

I was a bit skeptical that a commitment of 48 hours of my time could yield meaningful results. Boy was I ever wrong. It was transformative, powerful, and - dare I say - FUN! I am amazed.
