C-WBN has been in operation for the past 23 years and its focus on developing men has been present from the very beginning. In 2001 the concept of The Quarry® was created to institutionalize C-WBN's ongoing work with men. Since 2007 Quarry Seminars have been held all across Congress WBN's global network which spans over 90 nations on every continent.
A quarry is a place where stone is taken from its natural state and refined into a resource that is useful for building vital structures in the wider society. The Quarry® Program is structured to perform a similar function to that of a natural quarry by introducing men to a comprehensive program for holistic shaping and character development. The Quarry® Program is designed to be a place of self-confrontation and character & identity definition through the clarification of the roles and purpose of men in family and wider society.
