We’re happy to announce Registration is now open for our second offering of ‘A Father for Generation Alpha’ in 2021 🙂
There is no cost to Register and all Registrants will receive more info about the program in their US postal mailbox after they Register, along with a Gift from Fr Richard Rohr, OFM. More information on the offering and the Registration link can be found at the A Father for Generation Alpha website.
”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
An Evening with Psychologist & Author Robert J. Wicks
7:00 pm, Thursday, June 17, 2021
- How do we increase our resilience while having compassion?
- How do we maintain strength while caring for people—and avoid being pulled down by their problems and concerns?
Our next Watering Hole speaker, Psychologist and author Robert J. Wicks, has decades of experience teaching people to do just that.
Bob Wicks is known around the world for his skill in teaching helping-professionals develop methods for fostering resilience and avoiding secondary stress (the pressures experienced through reaching out to others), through healthy self-care practices. In his Watering Hole presentation, Bob will offer insights into how we can embrace compassion and hope and live peacefully in these challenging times, and in turn, extend our warmth to others without losing our own inner fire in the process. Through inspiring personal stories, Bob will offer vivid examples for:
- Adopting helpful psychological and spiritual self-care practices to deepen self-awareness, to face our spiritual darkness, develop a healthy perspective, and prevent unnecessary stress in dealing with the challenges of day-to-day life.
- Knowing the 4 voices we need to have in our circle of friends for maintaining balance, courage, and compassion for self and others.

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.
You are invited to a 2-hour virtual council on the subject of Transforming Racial Pain in America. This council event is hosted by Ohio Illuman but is open to all men on a spiritual journey, wherever you may call home. The council will be led by Mick Owens and Bob Farmerie.
This council is a continuation of the journey we began a year ago following the death of George Floyd and the emergence of Black Lives Matter protests nationwide. During this year of pandemic and widespread upheaval, many of us have awakened or perhaps reawakened to the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equity.
In July of 2020, we invited Byron McMillan and Dr. Bill Clark to lead us in a retreat called Reckoning With Our Past so that we could begin the process of understanding the depth and the history of the racial wounds we all bear, and how we’re all complicit in continuing to transmit these wounds through our actions, whether conscious or unconscious.
We hope you will consider joining us as we continue on the Journey of Illumination. Our council will incorporate additional content as well as discussion surrounding the racial history of our country. Please also urge the men in your community to consider joining us. Your participation matters!

Men’s RITEs of passage have been around for millennia in practically every tradition the earth has ever seen. The transition from “Boy” to “Man” has occurred in many different guises but the theme of dying to one stage of life to enter another remains unchanged.
In the modern world with its busyness and technology this essential stage in a male’s life may not have happened in a real or wholesome way if indeed there was any rite at all.
The Male Journey Ireland have continued the RITEs of passage from the Men As Learners and Elders (M.A.L.E.s) programme which has seen over five thousand men initiated to date. This involves a five day process where you will experience many facets of soul life such as drumming, ritual, fire, silence, small groups, wilderness, solo-time, teaching … and much more. Our primary concern is our inner work that makes a difference in the world.
You will be held in a very safe container by a group of initiated Elders who have freely committed themselves to be present for the duration of your RITEs from beginning to end.
During these days you will be immersed in the brotherhood of man to which you belong. You will meet many men like yourself some of whom you will become friends with for the rest of your entire life. Men who you know will support you and be present for you.
Everyman is unique, worthy of respect because of his dignity as a human being. The RITEs have the potential in helping you discover who you are, more than how you seem and greater than you imagined. It is a time for men to grow and gain hope for the future.
Life wounds all of us but great blessings can come from our wounds. It is life that defines us, not our losses, hurts or failings. These are the stepping stones to a more aware and fuller life
Our strength together helps us be better men able to accept the responsibilities and challenges of life. The Men’s RITEs of Passage are suitable for men of all colour, age, sexuality, ethnicity and faith tradition (or no faith); men with more severe physical disabilities are asked to get in touch for further advice.
