JOURNEY TO MANHOOD is a program that dives deeply into the real issues facing families with teenage boys today. Many families have benefited from the powerful experience of father and son spending 5 days in the bush with other men and boys (13-17 yrs). This is precious, technology-free time to do something memorable for your family. Mothers are very much a part of this program too, at community departure and welcoming home ceremonies.
It is quite common for boys to attend with step-fathers, uncles, grandfathers, family friends or mentors.
What this program is:
1. A unique opportunity for each boy to be challenged, honoured and supported to be the best he can be.
2. A blessing for all boys to confidently set their sails for the calm and the rough seas that life will present them.
3. A line in the sand that clearly denotes childhood and the freedom and responsibilities that come with adulthood.
4. Door-openers to all the necessary conversations boys need to have with older men.
5. A re-setting of intentions and commitments.
6. The very necessary reshaping of relationships when moving from parenting a boy, to parenting a young man.
What this program is not:
● This is not just for boys at risk. This is for all boys whether struggling or doing well.
● Tree hugging naked dancing in the bush. Nature is a powerful ally and we keep it clothed and real!
● Touchy, feely, weird and wafty. It is grounded and powerful, certainly different because it needs to be to effect such change!
● Churchy or religious-based. There is no religious affiliation or bias. Families from all walks of life are very welcome.
ALL families benefit from this positive, powerful and unique experience. Journey to Manhood creates and acknowledges the boy-to-man shift ‘from dependence into service’ and enables families to build a new foundation for their future. This is a real-life game-changer!
