A New Direction
Hey everyone, I've been off-grid and wanted to take a few moments to share the new direction here at Training Northwest. Since inception I've used the tag line mind, body, spirit to capture the three pillars of the warrior. While we are able to train both mind and body on the range and in the woods at Rifleman Camp I have struggled with how to bring my own lessons learned regarding the human spirit into this format.
As many of you have observed I've stepped away from teaching the purely physical- it was too close to military style training. And let's reflect on an important point here: the military trains skilled equipment operators who follow orders and directions with little or no consideration for personal morality. No heart, no spirit, just compliance. Sure, military service is wrapped in high-minded ideals like honor and integrity but the actual culture of the military is one of alcoholism and debauchery. It creates spirit-sick men and women who bend their own integrity to follow orders. Yes, men and women do perform acts of individual valor in battle but that is their human spirit shining through in times of intense need. That's why those stories move us so- rules and regulations violated to do what the heart and spirit know are right- and so it touches our heart and spirit to read or hear them.
I've revamped and am reintroducing The Warrior's Garden. This is now a space-limited, 90 day commitment to the exploration of YOUR spirit. Who are you? And what even is the human spirit? It's your spark, the thing that when bright makes you excited about being alive- that today is a great day. For many of you it's grown dim, you drag yourself through your day with an inescapable feeling of fatigue and hopelessness. Maybe it's all falling apart- divorce, unemployment, etc. Or maybe it's going great but you're still empty and tired- you checked all the boxes- good job, nice home, married, kids… so why? Why the fatigue and the feeling that this is all there is? You did what you were told would make a full and successful life. You followed society's orders: you got a steady job with benefits, comply with HR policies and employee hand book, send your kids to the government-approved school, comply with your HOA regulations, file your taxes and even get a return, attend all your kids sports games AND practices, and enjoy talking to your neighbors about your sports team and your politics team. You made it! So why the fuck are you so tired and unable to enjoy all your success? Or maybe it's already disassembling- you've separated from your spouse, don't see your kids as often as you want, can barely drag yourself to the job that used to provide you a feeling of success and meaning. The spark growing dim.
My Guarantee to You
Truth. Nothing More, Nothing Less.
Will you fully rekindle your spark in 90 days? No. The pursuit of your spirit is a forever path, and the purpose of The Warrior's Garden is to help you find your trailhead and connect you with other men and women who are walking their path.
Rekindling the spirit requires painful and honest self-reflection. WHO ARE YOU? When you walk through the gates of Camp Darby to begin Ranger School there is a sign that reads: "Not for the weak or fainthearted," the same applies here. This is for the Real Ones.
The Commitment
The Warrior's Garden will be capped at four (4) participants beginning November 9, 2026, and there will be a wait list. We will pick a start date that works for you and run 90 days from there. As each participant finishes I will interview the next person(s) on the wait list to see if they are ready for the Garden.
The cost is $1500 and I will accept electronic payment for this program. No refunds.
Each participant will be expected to engage in a 1:1 phone call every week, keep a journal, work on developing a daily practice, and participate in three (3) on-site days (1 per month, can be combined for non-locals) at my property in Granite Falls, WA. These will take place on weekdays, no exceptions- the point being if you can't tell your job and your spouse your taking a day for YOURSELF you're not ready.
Daily email correspondence during designated office hours.
Before you register you must complete a screening by myself to ensure you are ready for this level of deep introspection. You can email me to schedule a ~2hr discussion/ screening at my property in Granite Falls, WA (phone for non-locals) or enter yourself onto the wait list below.
