Are you a male between the ages of 45 & 65? Is the daily grind eating you up? Do you long for a break from the stress of life? Do you have deep questions but few places and little time to ask them? Are you wondering about your career, family, health, finances, future, faith, and/or self-identity? Would you welcome a few hours dedicated to reflection, rest, and recreation?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, consider joining us November 22-24 at Shepherd’s Spring Outdoor Ministry Center for a men’s weekend designed to provide “space to breathe.” This is not a “how to” workshop. It is not a seminar. There will be no expert. We won’t be "fixing” anyone. It will be a no-judgement zone. It will be focused on the three “Rs” of reflection, rest, and recreation. There will be conversation circles (but there will not be any compulsory sharing or participation). You will have space to breathe.

Location: Shepherd’s Spring Outdoor Ministry Center, Sharpsburg, MD. Shepherd’s Spring has access to trails for walking, hiking, and biking and unique learning opportunities through the Heifer Global Village. Accommodations are in hotel-style rooms in the Lodge.

Cost: $225 for a two-person room. $275 for a single room. The Mid-Atlantic District Church of the Brethren is underwriting the cost of retreat leadership. To inquire about the availability of additional financial assistance, please contact the Mid-Atlantic District Executive Minister Gene Hagenberger at demad@brethren.org or 443-960-3052. Price is inclusive of lodging and meals with the exception of Saturday evening’s dinner out which is at the individual’s expense.

Sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic District Church of the Brethren in partnership with ArtistryLeads. Facilitation by Jonathan Shively of ArtistryLeads.
