The First

Only the Brave

Retreat

What is it?

Only the Brave is a weekend retreat built around one difficult question:

What do I want to do with my one wild and precious life?

Most of us are busy, responsible and capable. We keep moving, solving problems, meeting expectations and doing what needs to be done. Somewhere in all the noise it becomes easy to lose touch with what we actually want.

This retreat creates space to step away from the pace of everyday life, pay attention again, and begin finding your way.

It is not a wellness weekend or an escape from reality. It is a place to think deeply, ask honest questions, and begin making decisions that are true to who you are.

Across the weekend we will explore the four movements of the Only the Brave framework:

Identity.

Desire.

Discernment.

Bravery.

The idea is not to solve your whole life in a weekend (if only).

It is to leave with greater clarity, renewed courage, and a brave next (small) step.
