Hi
I am hoping that someone here can give me more information than what I have been able to find on the "Sons of Maine group.
They link to
The Sterling Institute
MDI
NEATCOMM
The Family of Women
New Frontier
East and South Bay Nation of Men ('eyes of men' now I guess)
HAI
Landmark Education
MKP
and a group called Circles of Men but I think it may be a misspelling. I came up with Circles of Women and followed that to Woman Within. Now I have to look at Landmark...I had only looked at the top links there at Sons of Maine and Landmark is near the bottom.
Here is the link to Sons of Maine
Sons of MaineI did find on FACTnet an old forum posting concerning Young Men's Ultimate Weekend Program through the World Institute of Human Development and it included a little info on the Sons of Maine. The poster is someone called hot_wired (Ken)
FACTnet postinghot_wired (Ken someone) said he had attended the Sterling Weekend for men and MDIs weekend and had begun the' Sons of Maine' website. I am not even sure why he posted there as he didn't seem to have anything to say about YMUW but he did the "Hey its done me a world of good " routine and even offered one woman his email so he could answer her questions! I thought if she believes anything out of his mouth she is a fool. Maybe he was trying to advertise his group?
I am having a difficult time saying why I need to know. FACTnet's post was 2005 I think and "Ken" said Sons of Maine were about 30 members strong at the time. So if any of them troll here it wouldn't take much to figure out maybe who was asking and for whom. I am sure it is more than that now but hopefully men in Maine are more intelligent then to be taken in by what sounds to me like a grown men's boot camp. I sound so paranoid!
Right now I know more than I ever thought I would want to know about these groups.
Has anyone any knowledge of this group? Any ex-members?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
