Hello John,

I hope this message finds you well. In these crucial times leading up to the November election, I am excited to extend to you a unique invitation.

Join us in Oakhurst, California, from October 31 to November 2 for an exclusive Statesmanship Retreat, hosted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

Nestled on the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains—just 16 miles from Yosemite National Park—at the luxurious Château du Sureau, this serene environment is the ideal venue for insightful discourse just days before the presidential election. This event offers the opportunity to study statesmanship in a luxurious and intimate setting with esteemed historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson and ISI President Johnny Burtka.

You won’t want to miss this opportunity:

One common refrain that we hear from our supporters is that they wish that they had discovered ISI when they were students. Modeled after our popular student seminars, ISI’s statesmanship retreat gives you the opportunity to experience the magic of an ISI education in a beautiful setting with friends who share your commitment to ordered liberty.

Alongside Victor Davis Hanson and Johnny Burtka, you will explore ancient wisdom and modern insights on statesmanship, examining works by Xenophon, Cicero, Machiavelli, George Washington, and more.

Château du Sureau is an elegant nine-acre castle resort. With its enchanting gardens, towering pines, and bubbling fountains, this hidden gem’s storybook setting is a haven of tranquility and splendor. This stunning location provides the perfect backdrop for deep intellectual engagement.

We are at a crucial time in our history with the upcoming election. This event offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about history, politics, and political theory, and to reflect on the principles of statesmanship as we chart a new course for America.
