About the retreat
As I Am is a retreat for men that refers to the teachings and example of Jesus Christ to teach healthy male behavior; what we call “Christ-like Masculinity™.” It helps men grow beyond mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks that prevent them from being the man they want to be and from improving their relationship with Jesus Christ. The retreat promotes identity, fraternity, a purposeful life vision and a plan of action.

Doug
This retreat changed me. What happened on the retreat was even more than I could have hoped for...
I made more progress in those couple of days than I had in 9 years.
I feel reborn, rejuvenated, and recommitted to my desire to love and follow and serve God and Christ.
Bill
This was a life changing and spiritual experience for me...
It was a memorable experience, a retreat that is unique, uplifting and rewarding.
I gained a new understanding of masculinity by following Christ's teachings and I encourage all to look and step into a new way of healing. Your reward will be greater than your investment.
