Pathways to Longevity: Building, Bonding, Becoming.

RETREAT’25

What are the highlights

  • Mr. Rick Fulton, Yoga Therapist and Integrative Bodywork Practitioner, will lead Pneuma Yoga, a somatic movement and breathwork class. It’s designed to leave participants grounded, clear, and energized—an ideal way to set the tone for a meaningful day together.

  • Brother Dr. Marlon Smith (Pearland-Manvel-Fresno (TX) Alumni) to serve as our guest lecturer, guiding us through a thoughtful dialogue designed to rekindle appreciation and reverence for our fraternity’s rituals, traditions, and lore.

  • An informal soiree with individuals from the community. With a local DJ providing music for an evening groove.
