The Latterday Chad retreat experience
Beyond the tour.
Time to practice. Space to question. People to connect with. The heart of every LDC retreat is the inner journey: spiritual practice, consciousness, and personal exploration. Working copy, pending Chad
Consciousness & Remote Viewing
Practice attention-and-impressions exercises, then talk through what you noticed, without treating impressions as verified information.
Hypnotherapy & NLP
Explore guided focus and language exercises, offered as optional exploration. Not therapy or treatment.
Breathwork & Meditation
Practice guided breathing and stillness at your own pace, with time afterward to reflect.
Energy Practices & Spiritual Gifts
Explore practices and perspectives on spiritual gifts, discussed through participants’ own experiences and beliefs.
Esoteric Christianity
Reflect on scripture, symbolism, and the mysteries of faith through a Christ-centered lens.
Skywatching
Night skywatching and CE5 discussion: observe together and talk about contact-related ideas as beliefs and interpretations. Nothing is promised.
Fireside Conversations
Gather in the evening for open conversation, honest questions, and shared reflection.
These are proposed experiences, curated for each retreat. Not every modality appears at every event, and new modalities may be added. Guides and facilitators are announced only after confirmation, and every session is optional.
The questions we are bringing
Big earthworks. Bigger questions.
The Mound Builders
Explore Indigenous earthworks, the people who built them, and the landscapes they shaped.
Site visits / proposed
The Giants Question
Trace giant traditions and old reports. Ask what the evidence actually supports.
Traditions & evidence
The Michigan Relics
Examine the story of the collection, its disputed history, and scholarly findings of forgery.
Authenticity & controversy
Proposed site visits and artifact viewing depend on confirmed access; none is promised. All scenery is illustrative.
Ancient America & the pre-Columbian world
A wider world. A closer look.
Compare proposed connections across oceans and cultures. Explore scripture, shared motifs, Indigenous histories and competing explanations.
