jan johnson defines it perfectly, “silence & solitude is detaching ourselves from the demands of our culture & breaking the power of hurry. a space is created within us in which our character can grow & out of this growing, transforming spirit, we can begin responding to life rather than reacting to it. from our time apart we gain inner silence, which frees us from the world. it equips us to grow as the person God is forming us to be.”

sharing in fellowship with peers, free from the constant distractions associated with technology. this shows us how to pursue authentic & intimate relationships, even after we leave the weekend experience.

exploring creation is as simple as getting out in nature, enjoying the breeze on our face, the water splashing our skin & the grass beneath our feet. we do this through hiking, water activities & other outdoor opportunities. each experience will vary but may include nature walks, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, zip-lining, rock wall climbing, yoga, group games, archery & ropes course.

enhancing creativity involves different elements encouraging you to expand your creative outlets. each experience will vary, but might include hand-writing, rock-stacking, coloring, drawing, creative writing, poetry, calligraphy, drawing, crochet, leather crafts, candle making, tie dying & music.

executing change incorporates writing out a guide to a balanced life that practices self-discipline through healthy technology habits, which leads to a thoughtful & transparent vision for your life. this will expand our potential for living with clarity, unity & simplicity.

we provide a welcoming environment with an intimate group of anywhere from 15-30 people. each experience varies in size.

each experience has an individualized packing list depending on the location, activities & weather.

we are founded & ran by non-denominational Christians. Jesus comes out in our story through personal experiences, because He is the catalyst for change in our lives. however, everyone & anyone is welcome regardless of their beliefs! we strive to create a safe environment where people can openly discuss their beliefs & questions in love.

• “going on the A-GAP experience allowed me to realize how often conversations with others get interrupted by technology. it was a relief to be able to captivate peoples’ full attention, & have deeper conversations without someone glancing at their phone. i don’t think we’ve realize how much the art of communication has been lost until the interruptions are taken away. this reprieve from technology has shown me that living in the moment & making time for your passions are things that are truly rewarding in life.” — lindsey ford
• “i’ve never been to anything quite like this. we’ve done “detox” weekends & we have done personal development events, but never put the two together. amazing opportunity & I am so grateful to have been part of it!” — ron mcknight
• “from coming to an A-GAP experience i watch so much less TV now & am more mindful of how much time I am spending scrolling through my phone. unless i am on-call for work, i sleep with my phone in another room.  lastly i try to make it a habit to call people instead of just checking in on social media.” — micah arfons
• “i loved getting to have genuine connection with strangers & nature. i was able to be completely vulnerable for the first time in a long time & I felt more alive than I have in weeks being out in nature & on the water. i needed to have a technology break! this experience allowed me to feel more peace & rest because of being away from everything.” — anonymous
