Life is not what you thought it would be. There are things in your life you know you need to address, but there is no time, no energy, and honestly no space for you to do so.
Despite not wanting to stay stuck, and despite your true desire to find the freedom to be the man you know you could be, it just feels impossible.
The questions of "where?" and "how?" and "when?" are loud.
The answers are here, now, and with us.
At Restoration Project we know story, we know men, and we know the powerful crucible of the wilderness. When those elements are combined, radical transformation is inevitable. We have crafted a unique experience for men who long for healing in their stories and adventure with other men. Together with our story-experts, take a journey you will never forget — a physical journey with a spiritual destination.

Our journey begins outside the legendary Flat Tops Wilderness in Colorado. There, we will gather our team, eat a hefty man-meal, and begin to explore what it means to attend to our stories. Departing from there, our outfitters will guide us into the Flat Tops. Once we are on trail, the experience will be completely primitive and have no facilities.
We will spend 3 nights in the back-country, with intentional time to process our stories and have space to ride horses, fish, explore, hammock, and wonder what God might have in store for each of us.
