What Men Said Last Year:

"I only knew one man but now I have dozens of new brothers who are on this journey with me." —Gill

"I can wholeheartedly say that I've made friends from the retreat that will probably last a lifetime. I believe that the love I experienced and continue to experience has put me in good stead for the rest of my healing journey." —Justin

"I arrived at the retreat feeling shy and fearful of in-person vulnerability. I left feeling a sense of gratitude for my HM friends and new direction in my life." —Austin

"I received what my soul desperately needed--masculine love and acceptance!" —Joseph

"I almost didn’t go to the retreat because I felt too busy and pressured in a business deal. But my heart was hurting so I decided to fly across the country to find more healing. It was powerfully restorative to be surrounded by beautiful men whose commitment to curiosity, compassion, and confidentiality allowed them to give and receive love."—Keith

"I feel so much more free, more hope-filled, and joyful. It’s only been a week, but I really do feel like there has been a shift! Thank you Jesus!" —Chris

"I shared deep and vulnerable conversations with other men. I received affirmation where I needed it." —Keith

"I was not disappointed. That place, the people, the Lord - wow, what a combination! I came away changed, once again." —Russ

"I was very anxious and nervous about going. But I’m so glad I went. I made a lot of friends and learned so much." —Peter
