Fireside Council 2025

- You’re Invited! -

This event will take place indoors, with convenient access to the park for optional outdoor activities.

We invite the men of Ohio Illuman to gather for a Fireside Council at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park on Sunday, March 29, 2026, from 2~6 p.m. The afternoon will feature stimulating content, a short wandering into the park grounds, grilled food (with a vegetarian option), drumming, and a chance to connect with other men in life-giving conversation.

We will do this in the Cedar Ridge Lodge @ Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, which we have rented for this event. From it, we will wander into the beautiful grounds of the park. Upon return, we will provide grillables, and we ask those attending to bring a salad, dessert, or other contribution to add to the offerings.

There will also be fire. We will all have a chance to pass the torch! Please RSVP to this event and let us know if you would prefer the meat or the vegetarian option. We will send out more detailed information prior to our council to those who respond.

Please send questions and RSVPs using the button below to Brian Mueller.
