You may have heard the term The Art of Masculinity around MDI at some time in the last few months. If you’ve read the article about Doug’s journey, by our President, Chris Christopher, then you’re already aware that one part of that journey is a new weekend for men called The Art of Masculinity (TAOM).
The Purpose of The Art of Masculinity
The purpose of this training is to discover, embrace, and define your true masculine identity: to establish your place in the ageless legacy of masculinity as a confident, powerful, and honorable man – in all your relationships and in the world.
And, while TAOM is new to MDI, it’s not actually new. In fact, this training has been held 17 times over the past decade and, based on the results, we believe the impact of TAOM is so profound that we have made it an integral part of MDI going forward.
My personal connection to The Art of Masculinity
I have been involved in men’s teams, and men’s work, for 30 years – since 1995. I’m a graduate of the Sterling Men’s Weekend, of MDI’s own Legacy Discovery weekend, and of several Landmark Education events. I’ve also held most of the leadership positions available in the Men’s Division and in Mentor Discover Inspire. In other words, I’ve had significant experience with various approaches to men creating powerful change in their lives.
I first attended the The Art of Masculinity weekend as a participant, and was so impressed that I returned as a volunteer, and again as event manager. Seeing the value TAOM has given so many men, when an opportunity to join the facilitator team emerged last year, I jumped at it.
Being able to work with men who had more experience than I in the areas I mentioned, and the chance to impact even more men’s lives, was a purposeful opportunity I simply could not pass up.
My name is Stan Snow. You may not know me, but I’m asking you to trust me when I tell you that The Art of Masculinity weekend is as impactful as any event I ever had the privilege of participating in.
How to Attend The Art of Masculinity Weekend
Below is the information on the upcoming The Art of Masculinity weekend, as currently posted on the MDI website. There are men you know who need you to share this opportunity with them, and the only question is, what are you waiting for?
The Art of Masculinity Weekend
Sudbury, Massachusetts
May 16-18, 2025
Are You Living as the Man the World Needs You to be?
Be honest with yourself for a moment…
Is the man you are today the best version of yourself? Do your family, friends, and colleagues experience your true strength, leadership, and purpose? Or have life’s pressures, disappointments, and distractions caused you to settle for less than your full potential?
Are you just getting by… or are you truly rising up?
What’s missing in your life right now that you know deep down is important?
What’s your biggest challenge being a man today?
Would you like to have different answers to these questions?
It’s Time to Step Up
Imagine what life would feel like if you showed up every day as the strongest,
clearest, most grounded, and happiest version of yourself.
Imagine having full access to the confidence, purpose, and fire inside you when
you need it most. Be the man the world needs now more than ever.
What would that be worth to you?
If there was a proven way to reset, recharge, and reignite your life as the best
version of the man the world needs, would you want to know about it?
For 2½ days, you have the opportunity to break free from what’s holding you back
and reconnect with the best version of yourself alongside other men who are ready to do the same.
Join us for a life-changing men’s weekend where you’ll challenge yourself, connect deeply with other men, and step into the strength, clarity, and purpose you were born with.
Are you ready? This is your invitation!
