The Back Story<\/h2>\n

When men graduate from the New Warrior Training Adventure, they are encouraged to take the Primary Integration Training (PIT) in order to learn the tools, the skills and the self-awareness to sit in an I-Group. The PIT, if it is offered at all, is often a weekend intensive lasting two lo`ng days, during which the trainers hand out Dixie Cups and turn on the fire hose, saying, “Drink what you can!<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

It is a pretty well-established fact that this presentation model\u00a0 doesn’t work well. Men’s ability to absorb the material peaks after just a few hours and the rest of the material may not be remembered at all.<\/p>\n

Before the advent of Covid-19,\u00a0 I had the opportunity to lead an extended online PIT using Zoom. We spent 10 weeks meeting one night each week for not more than two hours. This worked surprisingly well. Men had a better chance to bond, more time to let each lesson sink in, and it even provided time to give them homework.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this model is starting to catch on, but there are still thousands of men out there who sit in I-Groups and hunger to go deeper. The IGFT training addresses parts of this, but nothing can quite compare to one-on-one coaching.<\/p>\n

The course description below represents 20 years of my experience looking at how to go deep and step into my own shadows. It is designed for me to teach it one-on-one and it will evolve as I practice it. I suspect that the first change will be extending the time from one hour sessions to two hour sessions, and I will change and evolve the training as I get more experience teaching it. And you may notice that some of the later weeks are a bit sketchy right now. They will be filled in completely well before I teach them.<\/p>\n
