Does it Work?

Journey Into Manhood has had a powerful, life-changing effect on hundreds and hundreds of men since 2002.

Nevertheless, it is ultimately up to you to determine how dramatically "JiM" will affect your life over time.

Journey Into Manhood equips you with new understanding, the opportunity for emotional breakthroughs, new friends, and meaningful support. But you must follow through to truly make it a turning point in your life.

In follow-up surveys of men who took the JiM weekend between 6 months and 6 years earlier, about 75% report a decrease in homosexual feelings and behaviors. Also:

About 90% of men who responded to the survey are less distressed over their same-sex attractions now.
More than half report an increase in heterosexual attractions.
Two-thirds of married men say their marriages have improved since "JiM."
In addition, a large majority report feeling more masculine, more confident and powerful. They have more and better male friendships. They feel better about themselves and have more peace in their lives.
About 95% say they would recommend the Journey Into Manhood weekend to others.

Questions & Answers

How can that much change happen in one weekend?

Life-altering change doesn't happen in one weekend, but it can and absolutely does begin in one weekend. Many men experience a cathartic "aha!" experience on the weekend; the classic paradigm shift that can seem to change everything.

Men leave the weekend with new insights, new feelings of brotherly love and self love, deeper connection to feelings, new clarity. And new hope. When men follow through and continue on the new path they started at the weekend, their lives change for the better, often dramatically.

What are the principles of change on which Journey Into Manhood is based?

We teach that change is possible through a M.A.N.S. journey - a journey of Masculine connection, rigorous Authenticity, genuine Need fulfillment, and courageous Surrender.

It is not enough to repress the feelings. Willpower alone is never sufficient to effect lasting change. Neither can shame motivate real change. Instead, we teach you to uncover the non-sexual, core needs underlying the same-sex attraction - needs for masculine affirmation and healthy male bonding, for example - and to meet those needs in healthy, non-sexual ways.
