Warriors Without Weapons 2009

 The Warriors Without Weapons Program   

The Warriors Without Weapons program is one path you can follow to learn roll up your sleeves and transform the world. This program will take place from January 5^th to February 5^th, 2009 in Santos, Brazil.

 

For one month you will work inside a local community to develop and implement a project using local building techniques that satisfies a real need in the community.

 

Do not say yes without first understanding that we also refer to this program as a School for Warriors. If you come, you’ll understand why we call it a school.

 

Working for your ideals is never easy. Learning how to deal with the real world it is not simple either, even less so when you are working as part of a team. This is precisely the point of the program.

 

If you are considering participating in this program, you should know:

1.    Every day we wake up at 6 AM, work hard as part of a team for 8 to 10 hours a day, and smile all the while.

2.    Your objectives must be in tune with those of the program because the day-to-day routine is quite demanding.

3.    Essential aspects of the way we work during the program include close collaboration with communities, designing solutions, hands-on construction, and an openness to deeply feeling the natural and cultural surroundings.

4.    You must be completely available to participate in the entire immersion program, from the first to the last day.

 

About the Warriors Without Weapons program

The objective of the program is to initiate people to the path of Warriors Without Weapons. In other words, we aim to offer to each participant first-hand experience in proposing and developing projects. Each participant can apply this learning in their cities, regions, and countries to propose projects that address a place’s social and environmental problems while respecting its unique identity.

 

In addition to our work in the community, the program includes workshops and experiential games led by the indigenous leaders who inspired the program. These guides help introduce participants to the “Way of the Warrior,” which is associated with the four elements: Land, Water, Fire, and Air.

 

 

Here you will be part of a culturally, socially, and economically diverse group. There will be people from all over the world, working together to address a common challenge.

The curse is trilingual (Portuguese, Spanish, and English).

You only speak one of these languages? Then you’d better work fast to learn a little more than the basics of one of the above languages! This will make for a better and more enjoyable experience.
