The San Luis Obispo Community (SLO)

The MKP SLO Community is made up of more than 60 men from diverse backgrounds who believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men model for the world what it means to live in integrity, authenticity and service.  We support the brilliance of men, and we care deeply about men, our families, communities and the planet.

Local Opportunities for Involvement:

MEN'S GROUPS

In an MKP men’s group, men mentor men throughout the passages of their lives.  Our men’s ‘circles’ typically meet weekly, or every other week.  We create a sacred space where men can share, heal and grow by exploring what’s up for them.  If you are ready to transform your challenges into your purpose and mission, please contact one of our local MKP leaders for more information.

“I finally found a group of men that I can call brothers.  They embody the mature masculine, and are the type of men that I have been waiting for all my life.”

GOING DEEPER

Discover Your Path

For the first time ever, we’ll be hosting a Discover Your Path (DYP) training event in San Luis Obispo County on November 15, 2025.  Discover Your Path is an experience that lets you discover and connect to the mission that is most compelling in your life right now.  At the heart of it, is a one-day outdoor experience that walks you through a journey of challenge, discovery, reflection, and integration and is purposefully set in nature to help you get in touch with what is most essential to you at this point in your life.

New Warrior Training Adventure

The New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA) is typically a 48-hour intensive retreat.  It is a life-affirming personal development event, a modern day initiation.  It honors the best men have to offer the planet and charges them to step up to meet the challenges–and embrace the opportunities–of an evolutionary time.  It’s tough, it’s rewarding, and it’s unlike anything else available.  NWTA’s are offered throughout the year at locations around the world, including trainings in California. Trainings will be offered in Nevada City in September, Cazadero in October, and San Juan Capistrano in November.
