Soul of a Leader Retreat
For C12 SW Florida
JUNE 27 - JULY 1, 2027
ARKANSAS RIVER | Colorado
$3,250 / person
Leadership creates ripples. The way we live, the health we carry, and the people we are becoming extend far beyond ourselves—shaping our families, teams, organizations, and communities. But in the pace and responsibility of leading others, it can be easy to lose sight of what’s happening within us. Sometimes we need to step out of the current long enough to notice what’s happening beneath the surface.
SOUL OF A LEADER creates space to do just that. To step away from the demands of leadership, slow the pace, and notice what’s happening within you, listen for what God may be saying, and respond with intention. Through guided teaching and reflection, meaningful conversation, time outdoors, fly fishing, and plenty of room to breathe, you’ll read the waters of your life and leadership—naming what matters, recognizing where you may be drifting, and gaining clarity for the season ahead.
And the retreat doesn’t end when you head home. Altar is committed to walking with you beyond your time away, providing practical resources and rhythms for continued soul care, healthy leadership, and lasting growth—because what happens beneath the surface shapes the way we live, lead, and serve.

The Accommodations
4 nights/3 days lodging at Frontier Ranch in Buena Vista, Colorado–the perfect setting for quiet reflection set in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. All meals provided by our in-house chef including hearty breakfasts, great lunches on the stream, and delicious home-cooked dinners around the table together.
The Retreat
An Altar retreat is a unique blend of rest, intentionality and adventure. You will engage retreat materials, take part in teaching sessions with Altar's team, enjoy great conversations and return to your 'home waters' equipped for the next season of your life and leadership.
The Fishing & Adventure
Your retreat includes 3 days of professionally guided fishing and unforgettable time on the water, led by our trusted outfitters at Noah's Ark Whitewater Rafting & Adventure Company.
You'll wade and float the Arkansas River, experiencing the energy of Class III rapids through Brown's Canyon, and spend a day hiking to high alpine lakes–casting into deep blue waters for Grayling. Each experience is designed to both challenge and inspire.
All gear (as needed) and guide fees are included, and all skill levels are welcome!
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.
More Than A Retreat...
"As a church leader, my soul was more tired than I realized. The unique combination of fly fishing, fellowship, food and faith talks began to refuel my heart and soul. The length of the trip was long enough for refreshment, but short enough to allow me to take the step of faith to free up my calendar."
~ Kevin | Soul of a Pastor
“The fellowship, food, and fishing were fantastic, altogether offering a life changing, transformational experience.."
~ John | Soul of a Man
"I haven’t had an experience like that in my entire life and won’t ever forget it. "
~ Eric | Soul of a Pastor
"With all the demands on my time and attention, I hadn’t realized how depleted I was, or how often I wasn’t showing up fully present. Altar opened my eyes to the need to pause, rest, and recharge. It was an “aha” moment for me..."
~ Gregory | Soul of a Leader
"This retreat was nothing short of awesome! Connecting with other leaders that face some of the same challenges as I do was very valuable and the coaching we received was tremendous. 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
