Ep 15 | Modern Day Knight Project Worth it or Worthless?
I sit with Matt Larsen, Seb Levoie and John Valentine to discuss Man Camps and Rites of Passage. We discuss the Modern Day Knight Project, but that is not our main focus. While I believe that camps are beneficial to men, they are not the be all end all to a man's existential issues. MDKP cannot give that to you.
The solution to man's existential crisis isn't found at camps, but goes deeper, and those issues are covered by writers such as Van Gennep, Robert, Bly, Robert L Moore & Gillette, Carl Jung, and Joseph Campbell. If a man doesn't have some kind of meaning in his life he is going to have issues fitting into his culture. Sadly, traditional institutional structures have been torn down. Where do men look for guidance? You cannot strip-mine manhood, purpose and meaning; you have to be disciplined and do work everyday to improve; it's a lifetime of work.
Man camps can be good; it's best that you search for some that don't posit they are going to provide you all of the skills and experience needed to handle all of life's battles; it comes from being disciplined daily and not expecting breakthroughs via these 72hr (or longer) camps.
We’re not here to attack the man, but the argument and see if the argument is sound.
Seb Lavoie is the CEO of Raven Strategic. He brings a wealth of experience as a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police divisional Sgt. Major, Combatives and Security Expert, and is a BJJ Blackbelt.
