Truth +
Conversations

Gary John Bishop
Join us August 21st, 2026
Join us for a weekend away from your life as you know it — and straight into the truth of it. From Friday evening to Monday morning, this is not a typical retreat. There’s no script, no safe topics, and nothing off the table. What you step into are real conversations — direct, confronting, and grounded in what’s actually going on in your life.

Over three days, you’ll face what you’ve been avoiding, see clearly where you’ve compromised your own integrity, and cut through the noise you’ve been living inside of.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about seeing the truth — and what becomes possible when you do.

If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it. If you’re ready for something real, this will change how you live.
