Jedi Warrior: Mind Fitness Based Resilience Training (MFBRT)
“The greatest thing in all education is to make the nervous system our ally, instead of our enemy.” – William James
“A man with outward courage dares to die. A man with inward courage dares to live.” – Lao Tzu
Our Jedi Warrior, or the Ultimate Warrior Training Program for the U.S. Army Special Forces is the most intensive leadership and mind fitness based resilience training program to be offered in the military in modern times.
The program review team at West Point Military Academy described Jedi Warrior as, “The most exquisite orchestration of human technology that we have ever seen.” Two of our advisors, George Leonard and Michael Murphy, founders of Esalen and the Human Potential Movement, described the program as “the most intensive leadership and human development program to be offered in modern times.” The vital lessons learned from this program offer profound insights regarding how to address the current mental health crisis and rising number suicides of men and women returning from combat missions. It also offers a wealth of inspiration and guidance for leaders in any organization who are seeking to develop their capacity to thrive and effectively help others in these complex and turbulent times.
The full story on this program has yet to be fully told and we are the only members of the original design team who were also involved with the program’s full delivery. The senior officer whose inspired leadership brought our program into being, has asked us to consider writing the definitive full story of this historic program. Some day we hope to fulfill his request. We are frequently invited to offer briefings on this program for leaders around the globe who are interested in the profound implications of applying lessons learned to equipping cadres of leaders in other disciplines with the wisdom, resiliency and capacity to accomplish their complex missions. This work clearly has increasing relevance in preparing leaders and communities to resiliently meet the challenges, and embrace the opportunities, of these “VUCA times” (i.e. the Army War College coined the term “VUCA” to describe the modern arena as Volatile, Uncertain, Chaotic, and Ambiguous).
