Stoke the Fire

Illuman of Washington offers a range of gatherings on an ongoing basis.  These include quarterly wilderness wanderings, firesides, backpacking, councils, retreats, work days, service work, and more.

The location and other details for each Washington council are announced each month in the newsletter.  Council includes practices that touch on all five of our touchstones, but the best way to learn about council is to experience council.  Council is open to all men.  For those who live far from an existing council circle, we have virtual council groups that meet as well.  

Learn more about council here.

Don’t miss these upcoming events, and check back for more details in the future.
