Program Details

Martial arts have proven to be the most transformational healing mechanism I've ever known. As a volunteer, you'll have a few options of how you can be helpful in joining this experience.

1. Training with feedback.
I'll be teaching the martial arts I've learned over the past 10 years of my experience ( boxing, wrestling, and BJJ) in order to keep bringing the knowledge to those who seek it. In return, I ask only for feedback on how the experience has had an effect on you.

2. Coaching.
I've reach a moment in life that has inspired me to take my martial arts journey to the next level. If you happen to have experience in ANY martial art whatsoever, I ask that you share your knowledge with me in exchange for a special deal in return.

3. Documentation.
As this is a unique approach to the learning / implementing the ways of a modern day warrior, I find it important to document the journey along the way. How? Whether by journal entry, video footage, or podcast interview, it would be an honor to see how this experience shapes you. Documentation will help to see how I can improve and continue to share this experience with those who seek it in the future.

The ultimate goal here is to share knowledge and wisdom with those who know / wish to experience the power and expression of their inner warrior. To learn alternate ways of healing form trauma, anxiety, depression, etc. through a more healthy, grounded manner.

Activities & Shift

Aside from training, other daily tasks will be included in our weekly schedule of basic house chores (cooking, cleaning, etc.). This helps us to collectively maintain the 300 year old house together.

Rules
