2025 retreat banner with fly fishing flies

Unlike any other fly fishing trip, your Altar retreat will help you read the waters of your life, gain clarity on what is or what needs to be next in your life, and help you chart a course to live into those rhythms and desires.

We can't wait to share the stream with you!

As we approach your trip date you will receive email reminders but everything you need to prepare for your Altar adventure is noted below.
