“The Second Journey: Life Beyond Success” is a comprehensive weekend retreat designed to guide you through a deeper exploration of your spiritual journey. This retreat is inspired by Don’s book “The Second Journey” and aims to offer a holistic set of practices to facilitate profound inner transformation.

Over the weekend participants will engage in discussion that explores the practices of meditation, detachment, letting go, embracing virtue and values, devotion, and integration. Each session is carefully crafted to help you move beyond the confines of your first journey–marked by external achievements and self-definition–into a more profound, grace-inspired second journey of self-discovery and connection with the divine. Whether you are spiritual but not religious, deeply rooted in your faith, or a successful professional seeking greater meaning, this retreat provides practical guidance and communal support to help you uncover your true self and experience a more authentic, fulfilling life. Join us for an immersive experience that transcends traditional boundaries, inviting you to embark on a transformative journey towards wholeness and spiritual fulfillment.
