Is this for You?
- Have you found yourself at a place where life is pretty good but there's something bigger and deeper within you that's calling?
- Are you in a season of constant chaos, or "good problems" to have, with a never ending list of priorities?
- Would you love to come to the mountains of Colorado and connect with other FRDs who are inspired by growth, adventure and humility?
- Are you courageous enough to create some space away from normal chaos and challenge yourself in new ways?
If any of that speaks to you, we'd love to have you!
Join us for this four-day retreat in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. You and your fellow FRDs will be challenging yourselves in new ways - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
This is NOT for you, if:
"A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there."
