Fireside Retreats equip Christian men to build; faith, resilience and skill for living life with hope and purpose. They are opportunities to rest, reset and reconnect in the setting of the natural world. Each retreat focuses on aligning body and soul providing further ways to embrace brotherhood with other men.
Set in a stunning natural environment this 2 day outdoor experience will take you back to the basics of life and challenge you to explore and find a path to deepen your faith and relationship with God in a sustainable way.
The retreat is led by Jason Whiley and Matt Hill.

Jason and Matt together gently guide you through the weekend, inviting you to come out of your comfort zone, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Stripping the noise of everyday life away while challenging and engaging yourself fully into an experience is a timeless way to reset, reassess and inspire clarity for new ways through your circumstances.
You will leave the course feeling refreshed, invigorated and inspired mentally, physically, emotionally and most importantly of all spiritually.
We look forward to welcoming you into the great outdoors...
