Meeting Virtually
The PNW Virtual Council meets every 4th Thursday of the month from 7:30-9:00 PT. You can join us via Zoom.
In addition to the gatherings hosted by Illuman PNW, 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.
