New Mexico Retreat

“I am leaving here with hope!” declared a participant in our Closing Circle at our New Mexico Retreat last week, and I think he spoke for all of us there. What a wonderful experience the 12 men and 16 volunteers shared at the beautiful Cow Creek Ranch near Pecos. Treated to the exceptional hospitality of Ranch managers Lanier and Mike and their entire staff, the men opened their hearts to each other and became “ol’ friends” in the space of three days. The fishing wasn’t too bad either (see photo) and a reunion is already in the works to build upon the strong camaraderie and friendships that were created (and to catch a few more of those hogs!)
