History of the H. I. S. Weekend
The H. I. S. Weekend was developed by the H. E. R. Weekend Organization, founded in 2002. Our H. E. R. Weekends are staffed by an all-gender team. Often, we would hear from the men staff that they wanted to attend the H. E. R. Weekend as participants because they had found the training to be so powerful and transformative.

We heard the call! Ten H. E. R. community members got together and created the H. I. S. Weekend. We spent about a year and half creating this training. Many hours and days were spent discussing content, working in small groups, and writing protocols. We started with what works for men from the H. E. R. Weekend, and created new content that addresses men specifically. The collaboration paid off and we created a training that provides deep healing for men. We presented the prototype in May 2024 and our first public training in December 2024. We look forward to providing this training for those that identify as men for many years to come. Join us and experience the magic for yourself!
