A New Man Retreat
March 8 to 10, 2024 | Southern Arizona
A peer-led, experiential weekend of self-discovery, brotherhood, personal growth and inner healing.
Society calls on men today to do the impossible — to be the impossible: Be strong but passive. Be sensitive without feeling. Be virile but chaste. Be a leader without leading. Be vulnerable but hide your feelings.
Never have society’s messages about manhood been more confusing or conflicted. Masculinity is even seen by some as the root of all that is wrong with Western society today.
Much of society wants a feminized masculinity — even (sometimes especially) in our faith communities.

How do we make sense of what it means to be a man today?
Can we celebrate rather than demonize our masculinity? Can we ever be truly real with ourselves and others? What about what we need, not what others say they need from us?
A New Man is a groundbreaking workshop-retreat designed especially for men who are ready to face internal conflicts over their masculinity, sexuality, faith, self-image, values, and their relationships with women and with other men.
A New Man is an intensive, immersive experience designed to help you explore and heal underlying pain from the past that may be contributing to inner distress, interpersonal conflicts, and problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in your life today.
At A New Man, you’ll encounter the real you — the healthiest, most authentically masculine version of you. Perhaps more than ever before, you’ll catch a vision of the man who God (not society) is calling you to be.

About Us
We are An International, multi-faith, peer-support fellowship
We are a non-profit, multi-faith, international fellowship. We are a peer-led, volunteer-based, faith-affirming community. We have more than 20 years of experience offering life-changing inner-healing and personal-growth retreats for men.
We support men who are seeking to grow in self-worth, masculinity, community, and connection. We support each other in exploring unresolved issues and healing underlying pain that may be driving problematic thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.
Our diverse but united brotherhood includes Catholics, Evangelicals and other Protestants, Latter-day Saints, Eastern Orthodox, and other Christians (including non-denominational Christians), Jews (including Orthodox Jews), Muslims, and men of other faiths. Some of us are agnostic or just not religious.
More than anything else, we support each other in aligning our choices with our values, faith, and life goals — rather than the other way around.
