Youth Convergence Bundle Online Cohort plus Convergence/Camping

The Sonz Youth Convergence is a contemporary rites of passage experience for young men ages 11 to 19 years to mark and celebrate their steps toward manhood in community.  

This 4-day, 3 night experience will take place August 1 - 4, 2024 at Liberty Arising Sanctuary in Jacumba, CA.  This life-altering experience is playful, ceremonial and adventurous.  All meals are provided.  Young men can stay in the dorm with 24 other young men where we provide mattresses (they bring their own linens/sleeping bags).  They may also camp in a tent.  (Rental camping gear of 1 sleeping bag and sleeping pad are available for $50)

For transportation we provide shuttle to and from the retreat center, about 75 minutes southeast of San Diego International Airport.  You may also drop off your son at the retreat center between 1 and 3pm on August 1st.

Support your son to get clarity on the man he wants to be and mark his steps towards being that man and this moment of his journey with us this summer!
