denver | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10TH-SUNDAY, JUNE 14TH 2026: ready for war
Last year we went into New Orleans as Kings and were initiated as Warriors.
This year we prepare for battle…
Ready For War is about the work that happens before the battle. The internal preparation that most men avoid but every warrior requires.
Over the course of the weekend we will create space to confront what we normally sidestep, whether it’s a physical or emotional pain we are avoiding, in order to strengthen the parts of ourselves that rarely get attention and prepare for whatever the second half of the year demands.
❋ Halftime is intentionally designed to balance structure and freedom.
❋ There will be moments of challenge and competition.
❋ There will be moments of reflection and conversation.
❋ There will also be plenty of space to relax and enjoy the setting.
THE NO PHONE SESSIONS
Yes. Really.
A few sessions throughout the retreat will require phones to be left behind.
The reason is simple. Presence.
When phones disappear, something changes. Conversations get deeper. Attention sharpens. People actually listen.
These sessions are limited and intentional. They are designed to give everyone the rare opportunity to be fully present with the group.
The goal is not restriction. It is connection.
is everything mandatory?
No.
Requiring full attendance would contradict the purpose of the retreat.
We strongly encourage everyone to attend a few anchor experiences that help set the tone for the weekend and strengthen the group dynamic. Outside of those moments, you are free to use your time in the way that restores you best.
If that means sleeping in, enjoy the sleep.
If that means relaxing by the pool or taking time to yourself, take it.
Just communicate your plans so the group can plan accordingly.
the group
Every attendee is personally invited.
This is not a public conference and it is not a large event. The group is intentionally curated based on personality, leadership experience, and the ability to hold space for others.
If the weekend unfolds the way it has in the past, you will likely find yourself in conversations that go deeper than expected.
Family. Pressure. Fear. Identity. Leadership. Success.
Things that rarely get the space they deserve during the work week.
Everything shared during the retreat stays within the group. Confidentiality and respect are non negotiable.
A FINAL NOTE
This retreat works because of the people in the room.Different backgrounds. Different perspectives. Different life experiences.The only real expectation is respect. Show up with an open mind, a willingness to listen, and a willingness to contribute to the group.Everything else tends to take care of itself.
