This retreat is designed for men who are successful entrepreneurs & business leaders who crave more intimacy with God, deeper relationships with like-minded men, and want to grow in the most important areas of their lives.
This is a retreat unlike any other. It’s less about speakers and chest-bumping and more about your heart and dedicating your life to worship. This experience could be the initial step on your journey of becoming more like Christ. The vulnerable environment in the wildness will allow you to get radically honest with God, yourself, and your fellow brothers, so that you can break down the walls to overcome the obstacles to live your most fulfilled life.
This retreat is designed for each attendee to connect with God in various ways. Whether it's through worship, fellowship, solitude, nature, or teachings, we have created an environment that will encourage you to be still and hear from God. We minimize the distractions and dig deep into stories, testimonies, & scripture so you can discover your own identity in Christ.
This experience will teach you how to live a life fully devoted to God, find a greater purpose, & enlarge your heart to positively impact your family, organizations, and missions for the kingdom. We invite all the businessmen who want to be part of the bigger story and help a broken world find the healing it desperately needs.
We are non-denominational and biblically-based. Even though our attendees might come from various Christian backgrounds, our program will be solely based on scripture.
Retreats are only available to those who we feel will benefit from being a part of our community the most. If you'd like to be considered for selection, please apply.
