"It was very well organized. Tyler and Brannon were flexible and able to adapt to different situations based on group needs/weather, etc. Plenty of good food. Loved the sunrise event and the workshops were very useful. I liked the analogy of our relationship being like a boat and learning the three things that a relationship’s integrity consists of. Chase did a great job with the visual aspects. I appreciated that a notebook was provided. Also the complimentary earplugs were a nice (and useful) touch ;)"

I've been around the block with therapy for years. This single weekend was more valuable than all the therapy I've done in the past. 

I attended the 2023 retreat at Bear Lake with these guys. It was definitely a life changing event in my life journey. A couple of the stories told on this episode were a part of my weekend, the stories bought back memories of the experience and the events that altered some of my beliefs about myself and my relationship with my higher power. The story of the guy in the tree and the one we left behind were on that weekend along with the 400lb calf story, Brought a smile to my face and I re-experienced the love and connection to the other men that weekend hearing these stories. If you are thinking about going and are hesitant about it due to some fear or or other blockage in your ability to fit in, I want to encourage you to take a leap of faith and go on this journey. It was well organized (I suppose they do head counts now on the way out of the wilderness...lol) and the food was remarkable. It will change you as a man. you will start to embody the principles that these 2 men disseminate on every podcast, that you are loved, that you are enough and you are worthy of love.

Life changing.

I got the courage to share my deepest regrets/secrets. So helpful!

"This is one of the most impactful and amazing experiences of my life!"

I'd love to attend more of these in the future, so please keep doing them. This is more than just a ton of fun. These retreats are life changing, life shaping, and life giving to a healing soul. Thank you! A thousand thank yous!

 "I just really appreciate all of the work everyone put into this, especially Tyler and Brannon, but also Chase, Rhiannon and Linda. I honestly feel so blessed and grateful to have the resources we do with Love Strong. I feel like you guys are a huge reason we were inspired to come to Cache Valley. You both really have a gift and I just appreciate so much your willingness to share that so openly. And thanks for making it such a comfortable and accepting atmosphere... Also your mom is awesome! Haha!"

"Wish it could have been longer, but had a really great experience."

"The team building activities were really good, the feedback about what type of mask you wear, the forcing us to tell the group what we learned about a person we didn’t already know, the talks the therapists gave about the masculine heart (Tyler on us being made in Gods image and Gods nature, esp. him being Wild and the poems he recited were excellent elements), getting out and hiking."

You broke down the walls of my shame and opened my heart. I remember being at the beach and feeling so much empathy compassion in my heart for the other men. I’m not sure I have ever felt that so strongly for another man. The activities were awesome! The journal times were spiritual. The friendship formed was everlasting. You pretty much got everything right. I am so grateful for that retreat. Redemption day was amazing as well. One of the funnest days of my life.

This experience has helped me see myself in a different light. It's something that I’ve never really seen myself as, and that is that I am more worthy than I ever thought. I’ve learned that my imperfections don’t define me, and don’t make me unloveable. I realized that I can be vulnerable with my friends, brothers, family, and those around me.

This retreat has helped me gain more confidence . It has made me realize that I’d like to serve others and have a greater purpose in my life other than day to day living.

You won’t be disappointed with this retreat. It was unbelievable and it far exceeded anything I was expecting and if you’re expecting not much to happen or that God won't reach you here, He will!
