The Goal is Life Retreats

what to expect

your heart matters

The healing of our masculine soul is the one thing keeping us from becoming who we are meant to be. We will dive deep into those things that make us come alive and discover what God desires for our lives.

teaching sessions

Through teaching sessions combined with movie clips and personal stories, you will journey with us through subjects regarding the character of God, His heart and how that connects to our heart and soul.

fellowship

This weekend is a spiritual adventure, an honest journey into the passions and desires of your heart. This includes topics about battle, fatherhood, sex and hearing God. Life as it was meant to be lived.

reflection

The retreats we organise are all about you and your relationship with God, so there is plenty of time for reflection, fellowship, adventure and relaxation. Be encouraged, seek His voice, and grow.

Location

campsite dzintari

The retreats are held at Campsite Dzintari, located 85 kms south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula, near the small coastal towns of Normanville, Yankalilla and the stunning Carrickalinga Beach. The camp offers great serenity and quiet, separated from neighbours by open land, with spacious and well-maintained facilities.

Michael’s book

Hear God's Voice and become the man God sees in you.

If the gospel is intended to set us free, help us discover life, and become more than who we are right now, then why is it that many men struggle with Christianity? Why do so many good men find church so unattractive? Why can’t I as a man find my place in this life?
