Join us for a 10-week online workshop beginning on Monday, October 7, 2024 thru December 9, 2024!
We’ll meet for 90 minutes every Monday evening to practice presence and learn together how we may more often experience peace and God’s spiritual presence in our lives.
During our weekly gathering we will have a short program going into more depth on each of the chapters in the Choosing Presence book. We will then break into smaller council groups with prompts for men to discuss and share their experience of practicing presence.
There is no obligation for men who register to participate in all ten sessions. We do ask that you join us as often as possible. One of the benefits of our workshops is the ability to meet multiple times with the same men in small council. This allows men to get to know and trust each other more deeply, and therefore the depth of sharing and spirituality increases.
Registration is open. The suggested price for this workshop will be $99, yet please know you can always choose to pay what you can afford (register for as little as $20). All registrants will receive a copy of the book mailed to them. For those outside of the United States, we welcome your participation but will be emailing you a PDF of the book instead of a printed copy.

You can get a head start on practicing presence by download the Practicing Presence – A Christian Way mobile app.
Our Choosing Presence Workshop will be led by Brian Mueller, Jim Heaney (author of Choosing Presence) and Jim Taylor (Illuman Weaver). This retreat is sponsored by the member chapters of Illuman Great Lakes (IN/MI, IL, MN, OH).
The Practice of Presence is an Illuman Program approved by the Curricula Council. The Practice of Presence is a form of contemplative prayer, meditation, and mindful breathing described in further detail in the book Choosing Presence: How to Access God’s Peace and Release Fear, Anxiety, and Stress by Jim Heaney. The Practice of Presence is one of the Centering Touchstones on the Journey of Illumination and helps provide men with a strong foundation from which to do their spiritual work.
Contact Brian Mueller with any questions.
