A word from our predecessor and friend, Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior:

"The Courage Training: taught by Mike Valentine and Tim JohnPress with a Zoom appearance by me. For about 14 years I taught “The Peaceful Warrior Courage Training,” limited to a small group of men and women from all over the world.

I’ve retired from actively teaching this training, but I'm confident that Mike and Tim, two of my co-instructors, will provide a powerful and transformative experience. I'll make a live Zoom appearance once during the training to answer any questions and ask how you're doing."
