2025 SOUL OF A MAN RETREAT

PRIVATE RETREAT for Zionsville Presbyterian

June 3-7, 2026 | Muskegon River | Newaygo, MI | $1,500

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.

"I was blessed to gain a solid beginning as an angler, but more importantly, I slowed down and allowed God to help me connect with Him through both the teaching and the natural surroundings of the stream. It was beyond my wildest expectations."

Rick | Soul of a Man

"The retreat was even better than what I expected. It was like I pushed the "reset" switch spiritually. In addition to helping me become whole again, it increased my awareness of how to better care for my soul. I now have tools to assess the state of my soul so I can sustain healthy soul-care beyond the retreat."

Andy | Soul of a Pastor
