GROVE RETREAT | east coast
You are invited to participate in a growing collective of men who will not settle, but instead choose to pursue their own hearts and stories while they pursue other men.
A Retreat. A training. An investment.
The Grove retreat is meant to be a place to find rest and rediscover your own first story, as well as a training ground for men to learn how to facilitate restoration in the lives of men around them. It’s not a club. It’s a place to be engaged, empowered, and encouraged. If that sounds like something you are ready for, click the button.
RETREAT DETAILS
April 25-28, 2024
Arrive by dinner on Thursday, leave after 11 am on Sunday.
Location
We're excited to be at a wonderful retreat center outside Hershey, PA (approximately one and a half hours from the Philadelphia airport, and 45 minutes from the Harrisburg airport). This location is nestled on 80 acres of beautiful Pennsylvania woodland. Plan on being off the grid your entire stay. Specific instructions will be sent in March.
Transportation
You're on your own to coordinate transportation to and from the retreat center. We'll share contact information if you'd like to carpool. For those flying out, make sure your departing flight is no earlier than 4:00 pm on April 28th.
What's Included
Includes all meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday brunch, accommodations, all content, poker (you're on your own for buy-in though), man-fun activities and materials. That means...get there and we've got everything else covered. No need for sheets/towels unless you want your own sleeping bag.

FAQs

You can only take someone as far as you are willing to go into your own story.
The Grove Retreat is broken down into 4 consecutive tracks. Each track focuses on different elements of our story with a progression from engaging your own story to the engagement of another’s.
By the end of the 4th track, our hope is that you have progressed to a depth within your own story and the story of others where you can feel confidently equipped to share this life-changing experience with men in the community where you find yourself planted.

Our desire is to guide and equip men to lead out of the fullness of who God created them to be. Our mission statement is simple and potent: Contending for men to reclaim who they are. It has nothing to do with forcing you to conform, but the opposite, rebelling against the pressures of conformity and becoming the man you already are. You just don’t know it yet.

Our hope at Restoration Project is to further a grassroots movement of restorative men across the country. To further that aim, we want you to invite others to the Grove Training Experience. In thinking about who to invite, simply consider these questions:
Does this man have a desire to live restoratively?
Does he have a receptivity to be grown deeper into his true identity as God's son, so that those around him would benefit?
If the answer to those questions are yes, please, invite him!
