I'd like to put a face, or faces, to the group of men that have inspired me to write much of what shows up here. Mens' Division International (MDI) is a not-for-profit that spans all of North America. Right now it has very active circles of men in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, throughout New England, Atlanta, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Diego and through the San Fransisco Bay Area. Teams of men are starting to pop up in Florida, Salt Lake City, Denver, Seattle and virtually any where two men just want to get together to support each other to win in their lives.
One of the great things about having men all over the map is every so often we get together to do a gut check on where we are personally and where as an organization we see ourselves going. We just had one of those soirees in New Jersey the weekend of June 6-8. Below is a link to a few photos that chronicle the feast we put on for 150 plus men along the banks of the Hudson River on Saturday night.

Four men rarely have chance to spend an evening together just being men. For 150 to do it with no set agenda is virtually unheard of. It was truely a night to remember.
For anyone who is interested in checking out what we in MDI do, go to www.mdionline.org or shoot me an e-mail at duxdeluxe@excite.com. Better yet, reigster for our upcoming event, the Legacy Discovey.
Legacy Discovery is based on the collective “wisdom of the Men,” including your personal experience. It is about being a man in relationship with other men and deepening your connection with the men in your life.
This will be a challenging, intimate and revealing experience, one that you will not forget. It is designed to put you in touch with what it is to be a man so that you can achieve your purpose in life and “become the man you have always wanted to be.”
· You will experience a powerful way of being based on mature masculinity
· You will increase your ability to connect with and trust other men.
· You will reveal to yourself what you are “really” committed to.
· You will discover your purpose in life.
· You will write your own mission statement.
· You will learn how to create an action plan for achieving your goals.
· You will experience the value of using the “wisdom” of a “circle of men.”
· You will celebrate and embrace who and how you have been in the past and will see that that no longer has to hold you back.
· You will connect with the source of your power.
· You will learn how to communicate what you mean more clearly and take ownership of your opinions.
· You will become more aware of people and experience them more honestly.
· You will develop a stronger sense of the real relationship you have or had with your “father.”
· You will confront some of the habits that impede your ability to create the results you want in your life.
· You will learn to accept yourself and your “foibles.”
· You will gain a new and more effective awareness of the role women play in your life.
· You will gain a deeper awareness of your relationship to money and the role it plays in your life
The next event is taking place outside of New Paltz, NY durng the weekend of June 21-23.
