SOUL OF A MAN RETREAT with Mike Woodruff
Private Retreat for the men of Christ Church & Lakelight Institute
JULY 28 - AUG 1, 2026 | Arkansas River | Buena Vista, CO | $3,250
Life often moves at a relentless pace, leaving many men struggling to stay afloat. In the rush of work, family, and responsibility, it’s easy to drift—longing for a deeper relationship with God and with those who matter most, but feeling like there’s no capacity left to give. Over time, the things that matter most can slip through our fingers. What about you?
SOUL OF A MAN creates space to step out of the current and reconnect—with God, with yourself, and with others. Through intentional teaching, guided reflection, fellowship, and plenty of room for rest, you’ll find renewal, perspective, and a plan for the road ahead.
Your Altar retreat is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a new one. The Altar Team is committed to walking with you, offering resources for continued soul care, leadership growth, and lasting transformation—for a greater life and a greater impact.
ARKANSAS RIVER
The majestic Rocky Mountains set the scene for our time together. Float fishing and wading on the gold medal waters of the Arkansas River for brown and rainbow trout and hiking to an alpine lake above 12,000 ft elevation for cutthroats are just a few of the adventures that await.
"This retreat was nothing short of awesome for me. Connecting with other leaders that face the same challenges as I do was very valuable. We learned to focus on developing one’s soul. And the coaching we received was tremendously valuable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to hit the reset button and improve their relationship with God, while becoming a better leader."
Aaron | Soul of a Leader
"There is something special about the mountains. It's where a man can come and cry without mockery, ridicule, judgement or shame. Nature doesn't care. It's just him and God...and God cares. "
Scott | Soul of a Pastor
