​Sponsored by: Chapter House and Ridgerunner USA

​At this intimate retreat just outside of Nashville, we will broadly discuss the myriad ways in which ascendant technological and ideological enemies are advancing an antihuman agenda, and what we can do to fight against it. Spiritual warfare isn’t just in the realm of beliefs about the supernatural, but in every aspect of our lives from our families, workplaces, media, education, and of course religion as well.

​This event will include standalone keynotes, panel discussions, shared meals, music and an overall atmosphere of conviviality. We also encourage attendees to submit ideas for speaking, developing panels or running workshops. More details on how to submit a session to come.

​Attendees include: Ashley Fitzgerald, Josh and Hannah Centers, Joe Allen, Warren Steury, Davis Hunt, Andrew Isker, Josh Abbotoy, Seneca Scott, Edward Crowe, Fr. Terence Johnston, Michael Sellas, Rita Wilson and more.
