Meeting Virtually

Men from across the PNW meet in a virtual council on the fourth Thursday of each month from 7:30-9:00 pm (PT). You can join them using this link to their Zoom room. The passcode is 125855.

In addition to the gatherings hosted by Illuman of Washington, Illuman National offers a full slate of virtual councils that are open to all.  Most every weekend you’ll find more than one option to meet.

Deep Connections

Events like the MROP, EROP, or other retreats, offer opportunities for transformation that can alter the conversation we’re having with life.  However, it is the fabric of the community, the depth of relationships between men formed over the years, that sustains one on the journey. 

We cannot do our inner work alone.

The Illuman community in the PNW is a rich tapestry of these enduring friendships, and when one becomes involved, over time one’s desire for rich, deep, authentic relationships is what we treasure the most.

If you would like to get connected within our community reach out to us with an email.  We have a number of men who would happily have a cup of coffee with you.
