In our cohort year, you will receive re-training to more deeply connect with God, yourself, and others. Are you a faith-driven Executive, Entrepreneur or Investor interested committed to holistic relational flourishing in your spheres of influence? If so, this cohort is for you.
Our EL#5 Cohort consists of three spacious retreats:
Knowledge of God | September 18-21, 2025
Knowledge of Self | January 22-25, 2026
Pace and Practice | April 23-26, 2026
For all of our retreats, plan to arrive on the first day for registration and a welcome reception by 3:00pm. The first session will begin promptly at 4:00pm. Plan to stay until our hard stop at 12:30pm on the final day of our retreat.
Your cohort journey will begin two months before the first retreat through our curated pre-work. We encourage you to set aside two hours per week to engage deeply with God through your pre-work.
