“I have found that you don’t have to be seeking something or be messed up to qualify to attend a SWET weekend, just that you want to live a fuller life and with deeper meaning and commitment. Yes, I still feel lonely at times, but through the SWET movement, I know that I have many Spiritual Warrior Brothers who care for me.”

“Camping out, completing physical tasks to make the camp work, breaking bread, emotionally and spiritually encountering the dark forces through magical processes were all part of the incredible work we did at the SWET retreat. The awesome power and genuine caring sphere around the camp facilitated me in being able to accept my imperfections, and acknowledge my anger, sadness, joy, shame and fear as okay feelings to have. The power of prayer to my God with the support of my brothers focuses me on my accountability, integrity, acceptance and love.”

“At age 63 I must say that it was the teenagers that taught me the most about myself.”

“I must tell you what an extraordinary experience that the SWET weekend was for me. It was the hardest most intense psycho-spiritual event of my life and I’m saying that from the perspective of a therapy client junkie and a mild retreat addict.”
