Thank you for your interest in the Men's Rites of Passage event at Rolling Ridge.

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.

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 will receive notification of your status (accepted, waiting list, or refused) within three weeks of our receipt of your application. If accepted you will receive a letter containing details regarding the MROP along with instructions for completing the required medical and travel forms, as well as instructions for final payment.

Notes

  • You may not make this initiation rite more than once.

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

  • Your application is not complete until a $50 deposit is received within 30 days of your acceptance. For information on completing the registration process, please refer to the MROP 2019 Registration Process & Payments section of the web site.

  • If you are unable or uncomfortable with completing your application online, you may download the application and mail it to the MROP Registrar.

Take time to thoughtfully and mindfully complete the answers to the questions in the application. One of our team will review your application and call you to discuss the MROP, your spiritual journey and answer any questions you might have.

If you have question, call our contact form to get in touch with our Registrar, Ken Bevan.

Next Steps

Once accepted, you will receive an email/letter with details about the event. It will also contain instructions for completing the required Medical and Travel Forms. Questions? - Use our contact form to get in touch with our Registrar, Ken Bevan.
