Journeymen – A Spiritual Adventure

Are you ready to launch into a transformative journey?

Journeymen is about “men on an inner-journey”, engaged in a spiritual adventure where struggles become opportunities. Christ is “the Way” (John 14:6), and as followers, we are called to transform obstacles into opportunities (Acts 9:2; 24:14).

In a society that often emphasizes competition, winning, and success, this retreat offers a chance to break free from these constraints. It will guide us in exploring and embracing the diverse aspects of life, fostering a unique sense of male spirituality and freedom. To embrace our own journey with Christ, turning our struggles into growth,

Friendship: Journeymen speak of friendship. Embrace the radical friendship exemplified by Jesus (John 15:15). Recognize that an ordinary companion might be a hidden messiah (Luke 24:13-35; Matt 25:31-46). Reclaim your humanity and power, transcending competition to harmonize the diverse aspects of life.

Transformation: This is not a process you can manage. It requires grade – getting out of our own way.

Sacred Space: Create a space where transformation happens. As T.S Eliot said, ” to make an end is to make a beginning”.

Prayer: Lift your crises to the Light, turning negatives into positives.
