Connecting through COVID: Embracing our lives, each other and the world.
The past year has been marked by pandemic, social and political unrest, the loss of life, and unprecedented separation and isolation. It’s been a time of discord, disruption, and disillusionment. Join us for Soularize 2021, as we come back together as men transforming men, shoulder to shoulder once again. We’ll reconnect in ways that offer healing and wholeness, new life and possibility for each other and the wider world. Our bodies carry wisdom and shame, trauma and holiness, bias and blessing. And they ache for re-connection. We’ll tend to them and to each other as we explore our relationships with other bodies, including the Earth and the deep union that is beneath.Through drumming, story, nature, and council, we will re-embody inner work that makes a difference in the world.
Due to the increasing impacts from COVID-19 and the Delta variant, we have made the decision to pivot to an online version using Zoom. We will be gathering all day on Saturday until 2:30pm Eastern Time on Sunday. More information will be available shortly.[/vc_column_text]

”If i could say something to the new Dad’s entering the program it would be to not overthink each part of the process and focus on your initial thoughts and look at where you can apply the traits you learn about to yourself and those around you to hopefully better understand why something’s are the way they are. By understanding the deeper working’s of yourself you can then work forward to improve and adjust yourself to be more the person you picture yourself as. This doesn’t mean everyone needs to make adjustments to themselves but if improvement or change is something you desire this is great way to start down the path.” — Daniel
Richard Rohr’s book From Wild Man To Wise Man invites us to explore our spiritual growth as men. In this bi-weekly experience via Zoom, join your Illuman brothers in this quest, the Journey of Illumination. Each gathering will explore a chapter of the book using the method of Council and will encourage active exploration between sessions.
This is a unique opportunity, especially (but not exclusively) for Brothers unable to attend a Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP) this year, to bond with a small group of brothers over an extended period of time. We hope the content will engage you to stay on the journey.
Mens Rites of Passage (MROP) is a unique five-day/four night profound experience that builds on the classic patterns of male initiation through simple and moving rituals and teaching. Each day includes group prayer, major teachings on central masculine spirituality themes, quiet time for reflection and sharing in the context of a small group.

What is the Men’s Rites of Passage?
For most men, the question of what it means to be a man is perplexing. Many men have a longing for the support and guidance of other men in their journey towards masculinity, maturity, and a deeper experience with the Divine. In ancient cultures initiation rites and vision quests were used to help boys make the journey into adulthood.
Opening the door to this journey can start with the Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP). The MROP is not just a men’s retreat, but five days of formal male initiation. These teachings on the “mysteries” and the accompanying rituals have been met with a very positive response in recent years. Over 5,000 men have now been initiated through these rites of male initiation over the past 20 years
This Journey begins with the age-old traditions that teach the five lessons every man needs to learn before he can fully engage in the adventure and mystery life will bring. MROP can awaken men to their own masculinity, their deep spirituality, their potential for leadership, and their life’s purpose. This is not about religion but about spirituality, about age old traditions that guide us into manhood (regardless of our chronological age), about coming to trust that there is something much greater at work in our lives than we could ever imagine.
