This is the virtual version of the annual Samson Society Fall Retreat sponsored by Samson House. Pirate Monks gathered on the first weekend in November 2022, at the beautiful Lakeshore Camp and Retreat Center in Eva, Tennessee. It was an amazing time. Now, thanks to the capabilities of modern technology, we are able to present an Online Version of the retreat for those who could not attend.
