You’re warmly invited to join us for a two-day gratitude retreat where we’ll slow down, step into the woods and spend time in councils and larger circles to listen deeply, learn from one another and share stories around the fire. The days will include quiet time in the beautiful DeSales forest, space for reflection and the simple gift of being together with other men walking a similar path.
We’ll ponder gratitude by honoring the quiet recognition that life is constantly giving, even while it is also taking. It is the practice of keeping one’s eyes open to what is still alive, still generous and still worth tending. As our former Co-Convener Tom Pawlak often says, “it’s about keeping a ‘yes’ in your heart.”
I also want to extend a special invitation to the newer councils in Indiana and Michigan that have formed since COVID changed so much of how (and where) we’ve gathered. It’s exciting to see how this brotherhood has grown across the states. This retreat is a wonderful chance to meet brothers from across the region, strengthen those growing circles and weave deeper connection across our communities.
We’d be honored to have you with us.
