MKP’s 25-Year Anniversary Celebration
Men of the Project:
On October 21-23 in Louisville, Kentucky, The ManKind Project International (“MKPI”) will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary. 
In February of 1985, Ron Hering, Bill Kauth and Rich Tosi invited the first group of men to attend a “Wildman Weekend” outside of Chicago, Illinois. Since then, nearly 44,000 men worldwide have attended a similar version of that experience.
At our anniversary celebration, we will commemorate that historic event, honor the men who created that training and the organization formed to spread it to the world, and honor a host of other men who have helped along the way. We also will honor the men who died along the MKP road.
Many of the groups who were influenced or who have been allied or aligned with our core values and our work will also be acknowledged. This will be a very special event.
In addition, we have created a Circle of Honor of MKPI. This is essentially the “Hall of Fame” for the Project. The first five men selected for the Circle will be inducted on Saturday evening. The keynote dinner should not be missed.
The Celebration is called “The 25/25 Anniversary: Taking the Next Breath” because the gathering will not only be looking backward at the past 25 years, we also will create the celebratory footprint for the next 25 years of our institutional life.
Every person who is interested in celebrating our past and investing in our work going forward is invited to attend. Bring your selves, your partners, wives,
fellow warriors, I groups, communities of men, your stories of the past, and your passion for the future of MKP. All are welcome.
And bring your dancing shoes. We will have a big dance celebration on Saturday night, October 23, to ring in the next 25 years. I hope to see you all there.
