MROP Application
You are applying for: New Mexico MROP // Sept 27th - Oct 1st, 2023
The RITES of Passage have been offered to men through Illuman since 1995, based on the work of Richard Rohr, OFM, and other spiritual leaders. Acceptance is based on the readiness of the candidate. The RITES themselves contain images from various religious traditions, including the perennial wisdom from the Judeo-Christian tradition. However, this is not a Catholic/Christian men’s retreat. It rests upon its own evolving merits.
The RITES of Passage are most appropriate for those who are spiritually searching, who have done some kind of men’s work already, and who are not in a major reaction against God, grace, or transformation. It is important to note that you must have a basic mobility and health that will allow you to crawl, hike, and participate in a 24 hour fast.
It is best if you approach this experience as a seeker. Fathers and sons are normally not initiated together, nor is this a buddy experience. You may come with friends but expect to be assigned to a group where you will start from zero together with your group. (This will work to your advantage.)
You may not make this initiation rite more than once.
Some men are refused if it is perceived that he is not ready for this experience, and others may be placed on a waiting list as we have limited enrollment. You will receive notification of your application status (accepted, waiting list, or refused) within three weeks from our receipt of your application.
Note: If accepted, a $50 application fee becomes non-refundable and is applied toward the total cost of $500 or $450.00 for early bird registrations. If you are not accepted, your check will be destroyed or money paid through PayPal will be refunded.
For those requiring financial assistance to participate, we offer a limited number of scholarships. Please fill out the scholarship form here.

==========================================
The MROP is not just another event to attend. It is a decision that for many comes out of a sense that they are ready for “something” even if they are unsure what that is; see if in your “gut” God is inviting you into this adventure.
