ILLUMAN CHAPTERS & INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
CONNECTING
Find a chapter near you!
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 also sometimes have emerging chapters – groups of men from the same area that are finding one another and beginning to get organized.
