“An African Proverb‘If we do not initiate the boys, they will burn down the village’.I have traveled around the world initiating boys. I have seen villages burning everywhere, primarily in the United States in homes where fathers are not leading their sons. Divorce, financial pressures or simply being emotionally absent and not engaged takes a huge toll. Fathers In Motion may be the flood of hope that will extinguish the flame of self-destruction that is threatening our modern village.”

“Unique. For Kevin’s son, we experienced the rite of passage technique in our group, raising beyond measure his self-esteem, insight to life and appreciation for his Dad. The Father’s pride and bonding that took place during the process was completely unique and so uplifting – I have never experienced anything like this before.”
