SOULARIZE 2020:
The Masculine Path to Healing
October 15-18, 2020 • With Fr. Richard Rohr
Join us at Soularize 2020: The Path to Masculine Healing with Fr. Richard Rohr. The retreat will be held virtually and will focus on the wounding of a man’s soul, which is not generally recognized until midlife. The carrying of unresolved grief, internalized shame and guilt, loneliness, personal family traumas, intergenerational issues, and societal pressures all serve to weigh men down in disparaging ways. The wounds of individuals spiral outward, leading to larger wounds in society such as racism, toxic patriarchy, and our ecological crisis—which, in turn, further wound individuals in a negative feedback loop.
The injury to a man’s soul, and the wounds of the world, cry out for healing, and Illuman offers a pathway through. We are men transforming men, through a Power greater than ourselves. Using the ancient tools of nature, ritual, image, storytelling, and Council, we will help one another reclaim the soul’s wisdom and the gift of joy. Bearing gifts that often come straight from the wound itself, we then join sisters and brothers as healing agents in a hurting world.
