Lloyd
Through Illuman, I have found brothers, teachings, and practices that lead me to be a generative father and grandfather—something the world so desperately hungers for. This is Good News for everyone!
Don
Illuman has given me a vibrant spiritual life and practice—something I needed at a time of loss. I believe this work can and will have a lasting impact on our society.
Inspired in 2012 by the work of Franciscan teacher and author Richard Rohr, Illuman is an inclusive interfaith community of men united in the shared path we walk, humbly pursuing a deeper life for the sake of the world. We do this by journeying together, gathering with intention and care along the way.
