How many reported deaths are enough?
How do you know how many suicides have occured related to MKP events, and the depression that can hit after these types of LGAT seminars?
There are many suicides/psychoses/hospitalization that occur after these types of abusive seminars, its just that most of them never hit the media, and are only known by the family, and reported by them.
James Arthur Ray was warned about in these threads more than 2 years BEFORE 4 people ended up dead from his seminars. [

The faux "sweatlodges" of ManKind project have been shown to be the exact same bogus set-up as James Arthur Ray, using plastic in the roofing which causes oxygen deprivation, and pushing people to endure extreme heat.

That can cause internal organ damage, and cause problems for life.
That is not going to make the newspapers.
These threads are ahead of the curve, unlike the news media which reports on deaths after the fact, without looking into the causes.
No one said MKP was a pyramid scheme or MLM. That is misdirection.
Its an LGAT seminar system, and people need to do some serious research into LGAT seminars, and how they operate.
Because MKP says its "non-profit" means nothing.
All that means is they don't pay tax, the PROFITS are controlled by the few people who run MKP.
Where are the IRS 990 Forms for MKP?
A search online shows many of them don't even file those reports, so where they are spending the money cannot be monitored.
Search Google:
"mankind project" "form 990"
MKP is dangerous.
Someone's spouse attending one intial event, is only the beginning.
Some men are vulnerable and get sucked into these groups for years.
Those who have carefully studied these groups for years, can see very quickly what they are really trying to do.
The public needs to a serious warning.
The secrect and lies from MKP need to be exposed.
The MKP tactic of breaking down people's identity in 48 hrs is extremely dangerous, it can lead to a mental breakdown in certain people.
They are doing a similar scam as Landmark Education, but just with a different "content".
MKP is the one running a pattern of DECEPTION, from top to bottom. They deceive the men on purpose so they can "initiate" them.
The amount of lies that come out of the mouths of MKP apologists is right up there with the best. They deliberately lie to their new recuits and others, and feel justified doing so.
Still looking to locate all the actual WAIVERS for serious damages and harm that MKP forces people to sign on-site before attending.
Below are some excerpts.
It says that if MKP is negligent, and you end up with permanent trauma or disabilty, psychological damage or DEATH, then you have paid MKP to sign your life away to MKP.
No one should EVER sign such a outrageous "release" as the one from MKP excerpted below.
That is the deal-breaker right there. No one should ever sign such an obscene "release" as this one by MKP.
Notice the MKP obsession with "confidentiality", that is all about keeping their tactics SECRET, a standard LGAT technique.

I understand that this list is not complete and that other unknown or unanticipated risks may result in property loss, serious injury, illness, or death.

I accept and assume full responsibility for all of the risks and hazards associated with participation in the NWTA, whether known or unknown, including, but not limited to, 1) injury, death, or loss of personal property and related expenses which I may suffer as a direct or indirect result of those inherent risks and dangers described in this Agreement as well as those not specifically described; and 2) any injury that I may cause to any other person or any damage that I may cause to the property of others, as a result of my negligence or wrongful conduct. I elect to participate in the NWTA with full knowledge of all known or unknown risks.
...
5. Release. In consideration of being able to participate in the NWTA, I, for myself and my Heirs, release and discharge MKP from all claims or causes of action, present or future, arising from physical, emotional, or psychological injury, death and/or property damage suffered by me or any other person, resulting directly or indirectly from my participation in the NWTA and the associated Activities, including, without limitation, injury or damage caused in whole or in part by errors in judgment and/or any other negligence of MKP.
I understand that by signing this Agreement, I surrender all rights to make a claim or file a lawsuit against MKP for personal injury, property damage, wrongful death, products liability (including strict liability), breach of warranty or contract, or under any other legal theory, unless the claim arises from the intentional wrongful act, recklessness, or gross negligence of MKP.
6. Nature of Release. This release, waiver, and indemnity Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Illinois. If any portion of the Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of the Agreement will still continue in full legal force and effect.
7. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and defend MKP against and hold MKP harmless from any claims arising out of my participation in the NWTA. The terms indemnify and defend mean that I will defend and protect MKP by payment or reimbursement for any costs or expenses incurred by MKP. This indemnification includes reimbursing MKP for reasonable attorneys fees and related costs of litigation, including discovery.

9. Health and Liability Insurance. I affirm that I have adequate health and/or other insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating in the Activities, or that I am financially able and agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to myself, property, or others.
10. Medical Authorization. I hereby authorize MKP to obtain any reasonably necessary emergency, surgical, or other medical care for me, including hospitalization. I understand that MKP does not provide medical services during the NWTA weekend and is not responsible for ensuring the presence of any medical professionals at the NWTA. In the event that any representative, volunteer, affiliate or agent of MKP voluntarily administers emergency medical care to me, I hereby release such individual(s) from any and all liability with respect to such emergency medical care.
11. Mediation, Arbitration, Waiver of Right to Sue. I expressly agree that any claim or cause of action of any kind against MKP as a direct or indirect result of my participation in the Activities or NWTA, must first be submitted to mediation by a neutral third party, preferably a mediator who practices regularly under the auspices of the courts of the state where the MKP Center facilitating the NWTA is located. If after four (4) sessions, mediation is unsuccessful, the matter must then be submitted for a final and binding arbitration of my claims. Any such arbitration will be held in the state where the MKP Center facilitating the NWTA is located, and Illinois substantive law will apply in all such proceedings without regard to choice of law principles. I agree that any resulting arbitration award is final and binding upon both MKP and upon me and my Heirs, and by executing this Agreement I am expressly waiving any and all rights to litigate any such claim in any state or federal court. Any cause of action to enforce any arbitration award or any cause of action brought against MKP notwithstanding the waivers contained in this Agreement, must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state where the MKP Center facilitating the NWTA is located, and Illinois substantive law will apply. Any arbitrator chosen pursuant to this paragraph will be chosen from a list or lists supplied by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), with AAA rules to apply, and/or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, or from any other mutually agreeable source.
12. Agreement Controlling. This release contains the entire agreement between MKP and me, and supersedes any and all other agreements or representations, written or oral.
I understand fully that by signing this Agreement, I waive my legal rights both to assert certain claims against MKP and to sue or otherwise assert any claims in a court of law. I agree that any dispute between MKP and me, or anyone representing me, or otherwise arising out of my participation in the Activities and the NWTA, must be submitted to final and binding arbitration. I fully understand the consequences of this waiver and acknowledge that I have had ample opportunity to ask questions regarding this Agreement. I have read the Agreement in its entirety, I understand the content and implications of the document, I sign this Agreement freely and voluntarily, and I agree to be legally bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
