2026 Men’s Retreat
10 Camp Mitchell Rd, Morrilton, AR
Dear Brothers and siblings in Christ,
You are invited to step away from the noise of daily life and spend intentional time in community, prayer, and rest at Camp Mitchell on Petit Jean Mountain.
This Episcopal Men’s Retreat is an opportunity to gather with other men of faith in a beautiful, sacred place—to breathe deeply, share honestly, worship together, and reconnect with God and one another. Whether you are seeking renewal, quiet reflection, meaningful conversation, or simply time in nature, there is a place for you here.
No special expertise is required. You do not need to have all the answers. Just bring yourself.
Led by The Rev. Dr. Jason Alexander, rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Conway, this retreat weaves together stories from the Appalachian Trail, the Tour Divide, and the Tour du Mont Blanc with insights from Scripture and early Christian wisdom. Together, we will explore the inner journey that runs beneath every outer one—our callings, our trials, our companions on the way, and the return home to ourselves and God.
During the retreat, you can expect:
Meaningful worship and prayer
Time for reflection and guided conversation
Fellowship with other men walking their own faith journeys
Space to enjoy the natural beauty of Petit Jean Mountain
Nourishing meals and comfortable lodging
Camp Mitchell is a thin place—set apart, welcoming, and grounding—and we hope you will join us for this time of renewal and connection.
All are welcome, whether you identify as Episcopalian or not.
We would be honored to have you with us.
Registration details and retreat information can be found below. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email at guests@episcoar.org.
Registration for the weekend is $250 which includes lodging and meals.

From Almeda to Zilphia: Arkansas Women Who Transformed American Popular Song
by Stephen Koch

Join us for a special evening celebrating this award-winning publication honoring the Arkansas women whose artistry transformed American popular song.
Friday, March 13

From Almeda to Zilphia has quickly become a landmark contribution to Arkansas music history. The book is the recipient of the 2025 Award for Excellence in Best Research in Recorded Popular Music from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections and the 2025 Arkansiana Award from the Arkansas State Library Association.
Stephen Koch will discuss the research behind the book and the lives of the women whose voices shaped the nation’s musical landscape. He will perform live guitar and share stories that bring their histories vividly to life.
Katherine Strause will speak about the creation of the thirty original paintings produced as illustrations for the book — one portrait for each featured musician. She will discuss selecting archival references, interpreting historical imagery, and translating musical presence into painted form. Original works from the series will be on exhibition.
Erin Wood, publisher of Et Alia Press, will also be present to discuss how the project came together and the journey of bringing this important work to publication.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Light refreshments will be served.

Yoga Trapeze Basics
121 E Harrell Dr. Suite 7, Russellville, AR
The Yoga Trapeze, used in conjunction with mat yoga, offers a comprehensive fitness modality. It allows functional pushing, pulling, holding, twisting, bending, and grip strength! It builds a great deal of upper body and core strength. It also allows for deeper, passive backbends that can be held for longer periods of time. Yoga Trapeze inversions counteract gravity, creating space and length in the spine through simple, gentle, bodyweight traction. In our Trapeze Basics class we will walk you through the trapeze and how to use it. Then we will get into a comprehensive class and enjoy “playing” with the basics.
Cost is $20. Register here:

Meeting Place: Watson Trailhead, 304 Front Street, Watson, AR 71674
Admission: Free
Here is your chance to experience a place in the deep Delta woods that few people have passed through in decades, the Yancopin Bridge. Join a park interpreter for a 3-mile, round-trip hiking journey on Delta Heritage Trail lasting approximately 2.5 hours.
Your journey begins on a gravel-surface trail, leading about one mile into a lowland forest before reaching the historic railroad bridge, which stretches roughly 0.5 miles across the Arkansas River. This impressive structure offers sweeping views of the river and tells the story of the former rail line’s challenging crossing, set within a quiet, forested landscape.
Participants will meet at the Watson trailhead and then caravan in their own vehicles to a location near the bridge.
Registration is required by calling the park no later than the day before the program at (870) 572-2352.
Please bring drinking water, snacks, insect repellent and sunscreen. Dress to be outdoors and wear hiking footwear that is comfortable.
