| Men Alive Retreat
"Men
create a space where they can tell the truth to each other, where together
they can seek ways to better relate to their wives and children, to come
to terms with their fathers, and to get to know themselves. It is not
enough, however, for men just to gather and share their experiences. They
must encourage and inspire one another to find their path to God, and
their personal life’s mission."
The Men Alive retreat occurs once
a year, around the first month of the new year. There is nothing more male
than getting together and sharing our unique perspectives on life. Around
a campfire, great food, quality company with fellow Christians and a
fantastic country setting on the 85 acre Kaiserhof Lutheran Retreat
Center, outside of Tomball, Texas. The Kaiserhof Lutheran Retreat
center facilities consists of a Inn, Bunkhouses, covered pavilion, two
meeting rooms, basketball facilities, volleyball and softball areas, and
bonfire area. Plenty of room for meditation, walks, talks
and a bit of private time.
If you know in your heart that you are stressed, longing for a bit of
peace and tranquility to rebuild for the rest of the year, this is exactly
the time out that you need.
This is your opportunity to
experience first hand how to live the aspects needed for enlightened human
growth. If ever you do something for yourself, do this retreat.
The venue for the retreat is a 1 hour
drive from Our Savior Lutheran Church in Houston, TX. There is a small
charge for the Friday to Sunday stay. This cost is held down by the
Men Alive Funding Raising events held through out the year. After we
receive your deposit a map and directions will be forwarded to you.
