New Warrior Training preparation

Wednesday 5 November 1997

Yesterday I got a call from Matt about the New Warrior Training weekend I'll attend November 14-16. He was all, "did you have any plans for how to get there?" I told him I was just gonna go with my dad, who is attending as staff. He said, "you're not going with your dad." That settled that.

He gave me the phone numbers of two men who live in my area: Don and Fred, and asked if I would take responsibility for calling them and arranging rides. No problem, I said.

"New Warrior Training?" you ask. "What the hell is that?"

Well, I don't entirely know, but I have an idea that this weekend is designed to help men get in touch with their emotional nature and to dig way back into their brains and dig up a lot of repressed crap from childhood and growing up and life in general so this crap can be examined and processed as necessary.

Hmmm.

Sounds refreshing, scary, liberating, and crazy. Probably so.
I'll be certain to let you know how it goes.
