The retreat Experience
A Journey from Fog to Fire
We move beyond the typical schedule to provide a transformative arc over three days.
Day 1: The Pause
Entering the Fog
We begin by acknowledging the disorientation that comes with leaving your career map behind.
- The Focus: Confronting the “Identity Audit” and listing the roles and titles we have lost.
- Key Moment: Breaking bread and breaking the ice with fellow attendees.
Day 2: Clearing the Debris
Uncover, Release, Pinpoint
Before we can build the new, we must clear the old. Day 2 is about identifying the empty spaces where God wants to work.
The Focus: Releasing the “Control Illusion” and old burdens.
Key Moment: “The Burden Drop” ritual and “Spark Hunting” to identify dormant passions.
Day 3: Catching the Spark
Observe, Surround, Elevate
We begin by acknowledging the disorientation that comes with leaving your career map behind.
- The Focus: Confronting the “Identity Audit” and listing the roles and titles we have lost.
- Key Moment: Breaking bread and breaking the ice with fellow attendees.
