RIM (Returning Initiated Men) is a unique program to include men already initiated into the MROP.

Although you cannot be initiated twice, this two day program allows you to continue your journey and support the new men experiencing initiation. The community of men who have been initiated is growing and your connection and support is vital. We are all in this together! 

The MROP component for RIM (Returning Initiated Men) starts on Saturday April 27 @ 12:00 PM and will conclude at the MROP closing ritual Sunday, April 28 @ 1:00 PMPlease DO NOT arrive before 12:00 PM on Saturday. As you might recall, this is the day the men are sent into the wilderness. You are invited to be there and to prayerfully support the initiation of a new group of men. We are all there for them rather than for ourselves!

The RIM (Returning Initiated Men) component will include ritual, teaching, prayer, and an opportunity to hold Sacred Space for initiates. You will be present for the final rites of the new initiates and for the campfire celebration following the rites. On Sunday you will be part of the closing address and liturgy.

It is imperative that you reserve your place in the RIM program by the deadline date of March 31. There is a cost of $100.00 which covers your lodging and dinner on Saturday evening, as well as Sunday breakfast and lunch. Please be sure to RSVP by completing the RIM registration form and submitting it with your payment of $100 by March 31, 2024.
