At The Essential Story Retreat, you’ll step away from the noise and pressures of daily life to listen, reflect, and re-engage with what God is doing in your life right now.

​

This retreat is designed to help you recognize God's fingerprints in your current season and gain clarity about the next steps He’s inviting you to take.

 

Through guided sessions, reflective exercises, prayerful space, and honest conversations, you’ll learn how to pay attention to the movements of God in your life and respond with courage and faith.

​The Limbic States of America Workshop is a one-day experience designed specifically for city, church, and civic leaders who want to understand why people are acting the way they are—and how to help move their communities forward with wisdom, compassion, and strength.

​

Rooted in insights from the book Limbic States of America, this workshop unpacks the neuroscience of fear, trauma, and survival behavior, and offers practical tools to:

​

• Recognize limbic-driven reactions in individuals and groups

• De-escalate tension and rebuild trust

• Design strategic plans that promote resilience, healing, and forward momentum

• Lead with emotional intelligence, courage, and vision in a reactive age.​

​​

If you want to be part of the solution—building communities that are healthier, wiser, and more united—this workshop is your starting point.

​

Soulignment is an invitation to rediscover the postures of the soul that bring you into alignment with the work, the word, and the way of Jesus.

​

Through guided teaching, reflection, prayer, and honest conversation, you’ll explore the inner movements that either draw you closer to Christ or pull you away. You’ll learn to recognize the rhythms that nurture spiritual vitality—and how to posture your heart to respond to God’s ongoing work in your life.

​

This retreat isn’t about adding more pressure or performance. It’s about returning to the center. It’s about listening. Surrendering. Trusting. Moving forward in alignment with the One who calls you His own.

​

Come ready to breathe deep, listen well, and take your next step toward a life fully aligned with Jesus.
