Men's Rites of Passage 2024
Note that for this Umbrales (MROP in Spanish) there will be concurrent English-language MROP. There will be Initiator Program (IP) and Returning Initiated Men (RIM) programs offered only in English.
​
The Men's Rites of Passage is a five-day / four-night deeply prayerful and soulful experience that builds on the classic patterns of male initiation through simple and moving rituals and teaching. Each day includes centering prayer, major teachings on themes central to masculine spirituality, rituals, quiet reflection in nature, and sharing in council circles.
