Dear Brothers,

We want to let the world know that as members of Illuman of Indiana-Michigan, we find the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, a despicable and criminal act. This nation and the world need to continue to decry this callous and unjustifiable invasion of an independent nation as unacceptable. As men, we must always witness against any manifestation of toxic masculinity. This action is certainly one of those moments.

As a chapter, we offer our support in prayer and presence to our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine. We weep for you and the danger you feel for your families. In our sense of powerlessness to do much more than this to help, we hope you feel the power of healing and peace we send to you.

We ask you, our brothers, to keep this threatened nation and people in thought and in prayer.

– The Council of Elders for Illuman of Indiana-Michigan

The Male Spiritual Journey

Our culture teaches that money, possessions, power and sex will make you happy. Searching for success in those terms leaves men empty, lonely and dissatisfied.

A Different Path

Wise men through the ages have taught that accepting our human limitations and being open and present to God, self, and others is the way to being fully alive.

At a Glance

While many of us have completed the Men’s Rites of Passage created by Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, our goal is to promote spiritual growth, healing and wholeness for all men.

A Chapter of Illuman

Illuman is a not for profit organization for men who are simply interested in becoming better, more authentic men.
