Deeper Water Weekend
When
Oct. 24-26, 2025
5 pm Friday
- 3 pm Sunday
Where
Held at the beautiful Tilikum Retreat Center – 15 min from Newberg, OR.
If you have participated in the Deep Water weekend in the past, please join us for an “alumni experience”—a weekend of reconnecting with the community, extending your growth, and deepening your readiness to serve the people in your life.
How Much
The weekend will cost $300 per person—but don’t let that stop you from joining us. Come and pay what you can.
Openings
15-30 men who have previously participated in Deep Water.
Your cost covers all expenses (six meals, lodging, and materials).
Weekends of this sort typically cost $500-$1,200. We work together to keep costs as low as possible.
Staff
This is the best way to get more involved: work together to welcome new participants into the community. Spend a weekend leading, serving, growing alongside others who are willing to do their work.
Apply here to join the staff for the next Deep Water weekend.
Take our survey
Deep Water alumni, help us keep improving! Please take 5-15 minutes to complete this survey. We'll use results to adjust how we organize and offer Deep Water weekends and more.
Groups
Deep Water is not just a weekend: it’s a community.
A number of groups meet every week or two to check in, continue our work, deepen our friendships, and support each other’s growth. If you’ve been through our weekend and want to join a group, please contact us.
