Roar Retreat

The long table — community gathered at dinner on a Chandler patio
Roar Retreat
Come home to — REST.

Roar Retreat is the weekend that makes the year possible. Quarterly gatherings — Sedona, Overgaard, Flagstaff, Puerto Peñasco, San Diego. Small enough to know everyone’s name by the second meal. Built for the men and women who’ve been giving without filling back up — and finally come up for air.

Puerto Peñasco. The retreat in the sand.

Each retreat has its own weather. Snow in Breckenridge. Red rock in Sedona. Sand in Puerto Peñasco. Different places — same work. You arrive carrying. You leave a little lighter. And the people you came with are still your people on Monday.

Breckenridge. The long table where strangers become a pride.

Meals matter. The hours over food are where the masks come off. By Saturday afternoon you’re telling someone you only met Friday morning about the part of your life nobody asks about anymore. That’s the room.

REST.

The thing you haven’t actually done in months.

GATHER.

Around tables, around fires, around the people who get it.

DEEPEN.

The conversation that goes past Sunday school.

RETURN.

Home, with something worth bringing back.

The weekend that makes the year possible.

Roar Retreats run quarterly — Sedona, Overgaard, Flagstaff, Puerto Peñasco, San Diego.

Small groups. Personally led. Most fill from word of mouth before they’re widely announced.

We built Roar Retreat because we needed it ourselves. The years of giving, leading, parenting, building — we know what it costs to keep showing up. We also know what it costs when you don’t take the weekend away.

One weekend, four times a year. We’ll save you a seat.

Now show up.

— Bill & Elaine

You belong to our pride.
