"Journey Beyond re-affirmed my personal journey to wholeness, helped me reconnect with brothers in fun and wholesome ways, and stretched me in many ways toward my goal of relating to the feminine."

"I cannot describe the massive impact this weekend had on my life.  JIM was truly amazing, and catapulted me to a new level in my journey.  JB, however, was light years more transformational for me.  Of course, I was ready for it, open to it, and hungry to work on my issues.  But I never imagined how it could open my eyes to a new world of possibilities.  It's as if JIM lit a small portion of my journey, but JB illuminated the entire path, both behind me (where I've been) and in front of me, as well as radiating to my surroundings."

"I have felt warrior energy and much of it seems to be staying with it.  I can access it when I need it--this is a big step for me because in the past, warrior energy from myself or others felt threatening.  I feel assertive and direct."

"I am noticing new things about women.  I feel very 'separate' and 'other' from women."

"I am feeling much less anxiety about being around men in a variety of settings and situations."

"The biggest outcome for me was revealing the severity of the wounds I sustained from my mother, providing an opportunity to confront the shadows, and opening a new vision of the feminine and how to interact with it and love it in new and exciting (and more fulfilling) ways."

"I feel more in touch with my warrior and lover, I feel my masculinity more strongly and more often.  I feel more secure and confident."

"The weekend also is helping me evaluate my career path and where I want to go with my life."

"I now understand the importance of including my wife much more in this journey.  I grasp the importance of being emotionally connected to my wife, not to leave her out because of my involvement with my JIM brothers."

"It got me much more in touch with my warrior power."

"It has brought me so much closer to my wife, my God, other men, and myself.  I have so much more confidence now, and I have realized the importance of my wife and I healing together, not just me by myself."

"I felt even more of a man. I am more respectful of the women in my life."

"As a result of the weekend, one or more of my serious blocks to relating to women are gone."

"I worked through two major pieces related to men's bodies."

"I developed a deeper confidence in myself and my judgment."

"I find myself noticing women more and seeing them as humans instead of things to be feared/hated."

"I discovered that I have a lot of Warrior energy, which I like.  It complements my Lover energy. I miss the men from the weekend and realize that I need to establish more regular healthy contact with men."

"I went in with expectations of solidifying my resolve to a heterosexual life.  The JB experience went above and beyond any possible expectations I could have had, and helped me learn more ways I can cope with my feelings."
