How did New Warrior get started?
Three men co-founded New Warrior in 1984. Rich Tosi, a former Marine Corps officer and corporate executive; Bill Kauth, a psychotherapist and social activist; and Ron Herring, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and educator who had designed intensive accelerated learning events. These three men sat down together to address the question: “What needs to happen with men today?” Over time they designed the weekend curriculum which became The New Warrior Initiation Adventure weekend. They tested it in Wisconsin and found its impact to be extraordinary. They continue to refine the weekend experience and expanded it to other parts of the country, and then to other regions of the world.
