RSVP to Aret’s 2025 Mens Retreat: October 3rd-5th
Join us for a transformative weekend at the Light of the Prairies Retreat Centre, where we will disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with our faith, ourselves, and each other. The Arete Project’s Annual Mens Retreat is designed for Christian men seeking spiritual growth, restoration, and meaningful connections in a serene and supportive environment. Rooted in our core values of faith, excellence, and community, this retreat promises to be a unique opportunity to deepen your faith, build lasting friendships, and find peace in the presence of God amidst the beauty of nature.
As Jesus said, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest" (Mark 6:31). Let us embrace this time for spiritual development and renewal, reflecting on Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God." Guided by our belief in living a life of purpose and integrity, we invite you to join us for a weekend of growth, fellowship, and renewal, where we strive to embody the excellence and spiritual pursuit that The Arete Project stands for.
This weekend retreat includes all expenses paid and features a variety of enriching experiences. Participants will enjoy guided group activities, inspiring sermons and keynotes, live music, and ample time for individual solitude and reflection. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to engage in meaningful connections, spiritual restoration, and relaxation amidst the serene beauty of nature.
Our theme for the weekend will take us through three parts, character, leadership and finally discipleship.
Character — We begin by diving into humility and integrity — the foundation of a man after God’s heart. In a world that rewards pride and compromise, we are called to live differently.
Leadership — We’ll explore what it means to lead with courage and conviction — as servant leaders, mentors, and men who stand firm in the faith.
Discipleship — We’ll close with the mission we all carry: to share the good news of Jesus and make disciples. We are not just believers, but ambassadors of Christ.
***The sessions and overall themes may be slightly tweaked based on speakers requests and leading up to the actual date but this will form the basis of our weekend.
