This upcoming retreat weekend will be centered around opportunities for authentic self-experience and self-expression, stirred by deeper ‘soul conversations’ anchored in the realities taking place in our lives.

We will be exploring what our most authentic responses may be to the challenges we face in our current world, and how we experience our internal lives as men.

For this upcoming retreat, we will be working with content from two texts:

1. The first reference is a poem from Tom Hirons called, “Sometimes A Wild God”.  His short book based on the poem will anchor us on what it takes to bring new life forth in challenging times.

2. The second book is the latest work of James Hollis, entitles Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience In Changing Times.  

Hollis encourages us to encompass the relationship between our inner struggles and the rapidly shifting realities of modern human existence.  He reminds us that the path for us will always rely on our connection to a reality larger than ourselves.

You are especially encouraged to read Chapter 8 – Navigating Changing Times, and Chapter 9 – A Map To Meaning.  

Plan to bring a JOURNAL to the retreat to record important encounters and insights that emerge in unexpected ways during our conversations and self-reflection times.
