What is the Men's Rites of Passage?

The Men’s Rites of Passage (MROP) is not just another Christian men’s retreat, but five days of formal male initiation. These teachings on the “mysteries” and the accompanying rituals of Passover have been met with a very strong response in recent years. Over 6,000 men have now been initiated through these rites of male initiation since they were begun in 1996.

The Men's Rites of Passage are best for those who have already done some men’s work and who are also on a serious spiritual journey. It is also recommended to make this experience as a lone seeker. Fathers and sons are normally not initiated together, nor is it a buddy experience. You may come with friends, but expect to be assigned to a home group where you will be anonymous and start from zero together.


WHAT THE MROP IS...

  • A personal discovery about masculine spirituality and "the Holy Mystery."
  • A time to savor the healing and awesome power of nature.
  • A process to address issues of loss, grief, and relationships with our father, other men, as well as others.
  • An opportunity to examine life’s priorities and ask courageous questions about your "next step."
  • An invitation to listen to the "quiet voice of God."
  • A chance to return to life with a renewed commitment to your gifts.

WHAT THE MROP IS NOT...

  • A traditional lecture-based retreat.
  • An informational workshop about men’s spirituality.
  • A sensitivity training or deprivation experience.
  • A threatening process that requires participants to engage in anything strange or unsafe.
  • A test of physical stamina.

Many men who are now active in Illuman have attended an MROP and would like our brothers in this work to know about the rites and the opportunity to go deeper spiritually. We are here to support you in your effort and to address your questions and concerns. And we know that once you too have made the journey through initiation, you too will want to share the experience with your fathers, brothers, sons, and all of the men in your lives.
