THE NO BULL BRIEFING - September 2023

Unplug, Recharge, and Rediscover Yourself at the Samson Summit

In honor of our tenth national retreat, Samson is throwing a Texas-sized party! Join us the first weekend in November for our annual retreat, featuring The Place We Find Ourselves podcast host Adam Young.

At the Samson Summit you'll have the opportunity to experience:

Nature: Leave the urban hustle and bustle behind and immerse yourself in the serenity of nature available to you at Sky Ranch. We'll be surrounded by wide-open fields and a 90-acre lake.

Personal Growth: Our retreat offers workshops and discussions on topics that will help you excavate and embrace the hard parts of your story that impact the ways you relate to yourself, others, and to God. You'll gain valuable insights and tools to navigate life's challenges.

Community: Connect with like-minded men who are on a journey of self-improvement and self-discovery. Share experiences, stories, and laughter around the campfire.

Adventure: Explore your adventurous side with activities like hiking, a high ropes course, and zip-lining. Step out of your comfort zone and experience personal growth through exciting experiences.

Relaxation: Take a break from the daily grind. Enjoy downtime with other men to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

Nutritious Cuisine: Nourish your body with wholesome food that energizes and revitalizes. Vegetarian, gluten-free or other special dietary requests can be accommodated - just let us know any dietary needs you have.

It's Not Your Fault by Laura K. Connell

We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment.

It’s Not Your Fault helps readers uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma.

Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides readers to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation.

Readers will be relieved to discover that it's not a lack of willpower that has held them back, but a lack of self-knowledge instead.Listen to Laura's interview on the Pirate Monk Podcast or learn more about the book by clicking the button below.
