MROP - Registration | So Cal MALE's

MROP Online Application
Southern California Julian, May 09 - 13, 2012

After observing previous participants, we have decided that acceptance will be based on perceived readiness for initiation. While images and ritual are used from other religious traditions, we do not apologize for our Judeo-Christian heritage. However, this is not just another Catholic/Christian men’s retreat.

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 fast. These rites will be conducted at the Cedar Glen Camp, Julian, California.

It is best if you approach this experience as a lone 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 be anonymous and start from zero together with your group. (You will actually find this to be an advantage.)

You may not make this initiation rite more than once.

Please answer these questions honestly and not in a perfunctory manner.

Some men are refused and many will likely be on a waiting list as we are limiting enrollment. You will receive notification of your application status (accepted, waiting list, or refused) within three weeks from our receipt of your application.
