Chapters & Partners
Meet other men committed to discovering a healthier, more authentic masculinity.
Look for your state or country below and get connected!
The Journey of Illumination happens best face-to-face with other men, where you can be vulnerable and authentic, share life’s highs and lows, and do your inner work together. We have local chapters all across the United States and partner organizations around the world where you can plug in.
In places where official chapters don’t yet exist, we sometimes have emerging chapters—groups of men from the same area that are finding one another and beginning to get organized. Nearby states may have overlapping chapters. Contact us for more info.
