Schedule

We are gathering to explore the dimensions of a holistic life philosophy. Over the weekend, we will walk through them together—with short talks and activities, deep discussion and meditation, and importantly, fellowship and firelight.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON—ARRIVAL (4:00-6:00)
Participants arrive and settle in at the Lake Buchanan retreat in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Our organizing team will be there to greet you.

FRIDAY EVENING—VISION
We gather as the shadows lengthen. We dine together, diagnose our society, and then explore our calling as a Remnant. We begin with the vision that calls us here—and to talk about why this, why now, and why us. The first night ends by the fire pit.

SATURDAY MORNING—INQUIRY
We open in stillness, but move quickly. We explore mysteries of the conscious cosmos, our deepest human drives, and the tension between open inquiry and core doctrine. Then, we turn to the all-important virtues and vices. As our mission, we revive the “consent of the governed” and consider how we build a truly consent-based society.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON—SIGNIFICANCE
In the afternoon, we turn to questions of a meaningful life and the strange shape of time. We descend into Shadowplay—tiptoeing in the space between self-denial and self-indulgence—and then surface into facilitated relating with Jordan Myska Allen.

SATURDAY EVENING—LIVING & DYING
We sit with questions of our mortality and what of us survives it. We get to know our archetypes and the shadows they cast. We learn to take up the sacred task of repair—the harmonization of difference. After that, we enjoy good company into the night.

SUNDAY MORNING—COUNTDOWN
We turn from the vision and the content to the structure. How might we establish an order? What is the process to start a chapter? Host a retreat? We strategize, present, and commit. Closing with feedback and gratitude, hopefully we leave carrying a flame.

SUNDAY NOON—DEPARTURE
