| "Part boot camp, part sacred ritual, part classroom learning, part BS session, part team building, part deep personal work. All fun, all deeply meaningful, all masculine. Carefully organized and led by serious and dedicated men, for men who want to be better fathers, sons, husbands, and men. Trust the Men. I highly recommended this Weekend. It helped me to be the man I want to be." -Will |

| "I discovered my inner strength, power and playfulness by connecting and integrating with authentic men. I am grateful to and will always cherish the BetterMen Weekend." -Leon |

"The events and results of sharing the BetterMen Weekend with my two sons were and continue to be nothing short of extraordinary. Zach and I have been able to share our hearts with each other and find a new level of experiencing each other as father to son, man to man, friend to friend, and son to father. It is a  connection to him that I haven’t experienced since he was a little boy. Ari attended the next Weekend. Our experience was as equally profound, but unique to our relationship and separate from what I found with Zach.
There were other results from these two weekends, however, which were not about our relationships with each other. Each of them, from their own needs, found tools to take back to their individual lives, to make them better men, husbands, fathers, and brothers. Best of all, like their father, found a world of men ready to stand by them and be their ultimate resource for being the best men they could be. I’m one proud and happy dad." -Milt |

| "A very powerful and inspirational weekend. It took me out of my box and my personal growth was terrific. I wish I had this experience 15 years ago. It was an empowering and inspirational weekend. I firmly believe it has put me on the course to be the man I want to be." -Ken |

| "If I had to write a headline to my story about the BetterMen Weekend, it would read: "Sleeping Man Wakes Up After 40 Years" or "Dead Man Comes To Life." -Bryan |

|
| "This is the second BetterMen's Weekend I have done. I always return home re-invigorated to keep making improvements in my life as a father and husband. It attracts a great group of men who are highly supportive of each other." -Larry |
|
|
| "The thrust of the Weekend is determining how we wanted to live our lives and what kind of men we want to be. When this goal was first presented, I was doubtful I'd get to a place of clarity on myself in just 72 hours. Yet, I did. Try to imagine the impact of such clarity in your life!" -Bruce |

"Being placed upon our own Bull's back for two days not knowing what would be the end result: beaten and bruised, tired and worn, but finishing victorious and proud. I can say without a doubt, this was truly the best experience I have ever personally witnessed or been involved with ... thanks "Guys" for making us all laugh, converse, helping each other become stronger men and to realize life's specialties." -Jim |
|
|
"Anger and mistrust had impeded me from being the type of husband, father and friend that I always wanted to be. The Weekend gave me an opportunity to take a good look at what was behind all of that. I meet many honorable men at the weekend, but best of all, I met me." -Steve

|
| "Attending this Weekend gave me the tools I need to become the man I want to be. With the help of other men, I was able to look at myself, recognize obstacles that keep me from being happy as a man, and leave stronger and more confident in my manhood. All this can only be accomplished with the help of other men. Thanks." -Jim |
|
|
| "The impact of the Weekend is sinking in. The honor, courage, trust, and love that we showed and gave to each other is now part of me. Thank you MEN." -Joe |

|
| "This Weekend has completely changed my life. I have more confidence and direction than ever before, and I just completed THE best business conference, ever. I simply could not have achieved this without this Weekend and the commitments /N.U.T.s I developed with the help of the men." -Vince |

|
| "I’ve worked in the fire department for nearly 25 years, surrounded by men but never fully feeling part of the group. At the retreat was the first time I’ve felt fully accepted as an equal, as a man, in a group of men. This has instantly shifted the relationships with all men in my life -I now enter relationships at an equal level. Oh, and I stopped arguing with my wife as soon as I got home. Now I have a lot of time for other things I/we like to do." -Mike |
|
|
| "In the past I have heard the phrase, "Don't give your power away". During the Weekend, I found my power, I expressed it, and a whole world opened up for me. Thank you again." -Rick |

"The Men’s Weekend showed me the wisdom and power of a group of men helping one another. It’s essential for any man who wants to live his life more fully, lovingly, and wisely. As much as we care about the women in our lives, they cannot help us grow into the men we want to be. That takes the wisdom and experience of other men with the same goal -to grow. I strongly encourage others to seek out this training." -John |

| "The BetterMen Weekend was just what I needed. Within the first hour, I gained a new perspective on myself that is helping me to be the man I want to be. And I was able to apply the insight and tools I got from the weekend to my marriage immediately." -Dave |

|
| 'The Weekend changed my life. I learned the importance of being among other men, real men. I learned to find and face the deep-seated issue that kept me from being the man I wanted to be. With the help of the others, I silenced the little boy inside, and took my first steps as a man who does not hold back." -Alex |
|
|
| "Unbelievably awesome for me. I came home a different man. I can't believe how valuable it was for me. And I know I have some great men as new friends for life." -Jeff |

"For years I haven't felt deserving of a woman's love and affection, and I haven't felt man enough to be around other men. And I have avoided those relationships like the plague. So I forced myself to do a men's weekend. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Just being around other men helped me to realize that I wasn't alone, that other men felt the same way I did. It allowed me to finally be myself around others and helped me take a look at my values. It also gave me confidence to be with a woman, and more importantly, to be myself when I am with her. Needless to say, this Men’s Weekend ROCKS!" -Scott |

| "I want to thank you for last weekend. I've done some personal growth and workshops before that have left me feeling brain drained and that I am wrong or needed fixing. Instead, I feel very positive about myself and the group of guys I was with. I was able to accept the man I am as well as each individual in the group. We have a lot more in common than I had thought possible. It f*cking works!" -Eric |

| "The Weekend proved to be a Beneficial Life Changing Experience. Each and every one of you contributed to my personal growth. I saw myself in many (if not all) of you and I saw the Man I want to be in all of you as well. You shared your hopes, dreams, fears and joys with me and allowed me to do the same. I know I have benefited from the stories that all of you so openly entrusted me with and I can draw on this experience to help me become a better man ... The Man I Want To Be. It has been a physical, emotional and spiritual rollercoaster and I am a Better Man for going through The Weekend with such an amazing group of MEN!!!" -Neil |

| "I like nautical fiction, and the metaphor that best describes what the men’s Weekends does is clean your hull. Wooden sailing ships that accumulated barnacles and weeds after months or years at sea needed to be heaved-down and scraped, and it was with a clean bottom that they did their best sailing. Getting into the world of men for a long weekend - away from all the distractions of daily life, wife, family and job - is a great way to clean your hull and prepare you for the rest of the journey." - Alex |

|
| "I was a bit skeptical that a commitment of less than 72 hours of my time could yield meaningful results. Boy was I ever wrong. It was transformative, powerful, and - dare I say - FUN! I am amazed." -Larry |

"My BetterMen Weekend was very rewarding from the beginning moment to the end. Actually it hasn't ended and I don't plan on letting it. It was a weekend with men helping other men become better men. I am a better man and so happy about it." -Bill |

 "I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks for you and your team of initiated men who helped create such a healing and powerful experience that occurred this past weekend for my brother Ed, me, and my newly minted brothers. I carefully watched how you provided balanced leadership, constant watch, and quiet guidance to assist your team in staying focused throughout the weekend. YOU DA MAN! The Weekend was a huge success." -Marty
