Three-day immersive conference
Theotherapy: Wet Socks, Jagged Rocks, and a Stone in My Boot
A therapeutic wilderness experience rooted in faith and healing
This immersive three-day conference weaves together theology and therapy in a raw, honest exploration of pain, perseverance, and transformation. Using the metaphor of a difficult trail — wet socks, jagged rocks, and that persistent stone in your boot — we walk through the places in life that wear us down and discover how God meets us in the discomfort. Expect deep group work, individual reflection, and clinically grounded therapeutic experiences in a spiritually rich environment. A recent Theotherapy client and retired medical doctor shared with our team, "I got more done in one session with Theotherapy than I did in six years of talk therapy." What is Theotherapy? Master Trainer Julia Muir wrote: "Theotherapy is a biblical approach to emotional healing and transformation. It teaches biblical principles which lead a Christian more deeply through their journey of sanctification. Romans 12 tells us we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds and that we are not to be conformed to this world. Rejection, anger, anxiety and other negative emotions from relational hurts may be harbored inside our hearts meaning that by default we are confirmed by something other than Christ. These emotional hurts affect our thinking and behavior making us reactive. They influence our mood causing us to struggle with our walk with Christ and our relationships with others. Often, Christians contend wiht the faith they adhere to and the conflicts they struggle with meaning a person can feel inauthentic. Theotherapy addresses these issues in a biblical way bringing healing and wholeness. In a nutshell, Theotherapy is an experiential pathway to freedom; it is a powerful route on the journey of discipleship."

Three-day men's intensive
Oikodomeo Men of Freedom Conference
Building men who walk in freedom, purpose, and authentic masculinity
Oikodomeo — from the Greek word meaning "to build up" — is an intensive three-day experience designed specifically for men ready to break free from shame, addiction, and the lies that have kept them small. This is not a typical men's retreat. Through clinically informed group process, spiritual formation, and honest brotherhood, men leave with a new foundation — one built on truth, identity, and genuine freedom. What to Expect: This conference combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches with deep spiritual work. Expect vulnerability, challenge, and transformation. Men come in carrying weight they've never spoken aloud — and leave lighter.
What to expect
- Evidence-based group therapeutic process
- Spiritual formation and identity work
- Brotherhood and authentic community
- Led by Christian Biscotti, PhD ABD, MDiv., MA., BA, PSAP, CPE Board Certified
