Presented by Illuman NorCal and Illuman DC, Elders at the Gate is a three-day virtual experience inviting men into deeper brotherhood with themselves, others, and the Spirit.
Utilizing story, image, ritual, and council, men are led, shoulder-to-shoulder, through a journey of self-exploration and understanding. Elders at the Gate brings men to the threshold of liminal space, a space where authentic sharing of one’s life and story catalyzes spiritual transformation in themselves and others.
The event is truly a first of its kind in being created from the ground up through collective action from Illuman men in tandem with Spirit. Our time together will focus on our individual and collective explorations of the discernment, ‘How do I live my power?’ Drawing from the communal wisdom and talents of the brotherhood, as well as never-before-seen video footage of Richard Rohr and other Illuman elders, free spaces for locating, and cultivating a greater understanding of your own answer to the topic will be offered. We gather to assist one another in traveling closer toward our True Self. No matter where you find yourself on your path, whether you are new to this work or have been in it for years, Elders at the Gate offers a welcoming home for You, all of you, to be seen, known, and loved.
Join us at the gate to begin our adventure together!
For any questions or concerns, please contact the event facilitator at eldersatthegate@illumannorcal.org.

A HERO’S JOURNAL
(Virtual Writing Retreat)
Sponsored by Ohio Chapter of Illuman
January 7-8, & January 15, 2022
Who are the gods that are accompanying you?
What do Narcissus and Mentor say to you?
Illuman is dedicated to helping men on a spiritual journey. That quest is what this writing retreat is about. What are the myths that are guiding your journey? We will draw some of our inspiration from the work of author and storyteller Michael Meade.
You don’t have to think of yourself as a poet to greatly benefit from this Illuman writing retreat. The weekend is open to men of all writing experiences—from complete novice to published author. We mainly focus on free-verse, open-form poetry. You won’t have to worry about rhyming, cadence, nor other aspects of some classical poetry.
We will gather virtually as a large group, but we will also experience some time one-on-one with another participant, and there is an extended lunch and wandering included for Saturday. All this is to say that the retreat has a lot of variety in it. You won’t be sitting watching experts talk about poetry. You will be invited to be fully involved.
This will be the fifth year for the writing retreat sponsored by Ohio Illuman. We are thrilled to invite men from around the world to join us in this reflective writing journey as we gather virtually to share our real-life mythic experiences.
Come join us on an epic poetry writing retreat!
We ask you to attend the entire retreat if possible.
A Journey into Matthew Fox’s The Hidden Spirituality of Men
Meeting the 2nd & 4th Mondays of each month, Jan-Dec 2022, from 8-9pm EST
In this year-long discussion of Matthew Fox’s book The Hidden Spirituality of Men: Ten Metaphors to Awaken the Sacred Masculine,* we will explore ancient and new masculine images that allow men breathing room to be our best and deepest selves: our wild and fierce selves; our gentle and loving selves; our soaring and mystical selves; 0ur prophetic, sharing, earthloving, cosmic, and expansive selves; our generative, creative, compassionate, fatherly, and wise selves; our gay, straight, bi, pan, or asexual selves. In short, our true selves…..
Ultimately, men are not “problems to be solved” but deep, impenetrable mysteries. Each one of us carries many stories, many ancestors, many metaphors, and many archetypes in often hidden places. We are diverse. There is no single “man problem.” Our unique DNA assures us that each of us came through this long, fourteen billion-year journey with our own tales to tell and work to do. We are wondrous and surprising and full of creativity. And we are still evolving. We are green and blue, warrior and hunter, Icarus and Daedalus, father and son, husband and lover, spiritual and sensual, free and bound. That is the adventure of it all. That is why we need fresh and ancient metaphors to awaken us.
We will meet the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month throughout 2022 (starting January 10th). We will exploring one chapter each month we meet.
- January – Chapter 1: Father Sky – The Cosmos Lives!
- February – Chapter 2: The Green Man
- March – Chapter 3: Icarus and Daedalus
- April – Chapter 4: Hunter-Gatherers
- May – Chapter 5: Spiritual Warriors

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.

A Journey into Matthew Fox’s The Hidden Spirituality of Men
Meeting the 2nd & 4th Mondays of each month, Jan-Dec 2022, from 8-9pm EST
In this year-long discussion of Matthew Fox’s book The Hidden Spirituality of Men: Ten Metaphors to Awaken the Sacred Masculine,* we will explore ancient and new masculine images that allow men breathing room to be our best and deepest selves: our wild and fierce selves; our gentle and loving selves; our soaring and mystical selves; 0ur prophetic, sharing, earthloving, cosmic, and expansive selves; our generative, creative, compassionate, fatherly, and wise selves; our gay, straight, bi, pan, or asexual selves. In short, our true selves…..
Ultimately, men are not “problems to be solved” but deep, impenetrable mysteries. Each one of us carries many stories, many ancestors, many metaphors, and many archetypes in often hidden places. We are diverse. There is no single “man problem.” Our unique DNA assures us that each of us came through this long, fourteen billion-year journey with our own tales to tell and work to do. We are wondrous and surprising and full of creativity. And we are still evolving. We are green and blue, warrior and hunter, Icarus and Daedalus, father and son, husband and lover, spiritual and sensual, free and bound. That is the adventure of it all. That is why we need fresh and ancient metaphors to awaken us.
We will meet the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month throughout 2022 (starting January 10th). We will exploring one chapter each month we meet.
