If I had to challenge one thing, it’s the notion of “direct communication with complete integrity”.

It implicitely denies the reality of the unconscious. Sometimes our nervous system just takes over in some ways we can’t control. And sometimes just saying outloud what i’m thinking is not the best thing to do.

So I don’t think reaching “complete” integrity is possible but only to have a strong intention for honest & courageous communication.

Sorry to hear that is your perspective. The 10 principles were the result of a process and discussion in our community. If they are unclear, perhaps it is because there were many people involved and we needed to compromise. As for our motives, we are on a mission to restore men and masculinity in our society. You are correct that our main goal is not “attracting participants” – that would entail becoming experts in online marketing, something we are terrible at. So our approach is to work with the men who share and are inspired by our vision.

I gotta say, when I read this, I am a step further away from joining your event in August. It lies somewhere between cliché buzzwords and a cult whose deeper motives are hardly discernable. You guys can do better than that to attract participants. If that is what you want.
