Ohio Illuman is entering a new chapter of growth and clarity. By transitioning key administrative tasks to Illuman, Inc., we’re freeing our community to focus on spiritual formation, leadership renewal, and deeper connection. Learn how these changes will support our mission and invite more men into meaningful service.

I recently returned from representing Illuman at the Wild Goose Festival. This was my third Wild Goose. I had heard Richard Rohr talk about it in the past, and in 2018 on a whim, I decided to go. This year marked the tenth anniversary of the Wild Goose Festival. Joy Wallis, who is married to Jim Wallis of Sojourners, was a founder of the festival and explained how Richard was the inaugural keynote speaker in 2011. The Wild Goose Festival was inspired by the Greenbelt Festival in the UK which is in its 47th year. They describe themselves as where artistry meets activism, the secular meets the spiritual, and politics meets positivity. It is the same at Wild Goose: Spirit, Justice, Music & Art.

The summer is drawing to a close, but opportunities for growth and involvement in Illuman’s men’s work are not waning.

As always, stay in touch. Let me know what is happening in your life and what you would like to see happening at Ohio Illuman.
