Dear Reader,
We at FIRST THINGS love our intellectual retreats. We love meeting readers of the magazine, the intellectual conversation, and delicious dining. However, we know our attendees love it even more.
Take the testimony of longtime FIRST THINGS subscriber and returning retreat attendee Al Forrester for example:
“I’m fortunate to have attended every Intellectual Retreat in New York. And as long as I am able, I will continue. The opportunity to step out of my daily routine and engage in the life of the mind has been a welcome pleasure. It’s not often that one has the time to explore what our precious religious and philosophical heritage has to say about the current cultural and political turmoil that surrounds us. The FIRST THINGS Intellectual Retreats provide just that opportunity. I have learned a lot, grown spiritually, and formed lasting relationships with many thoughtful people of good will. These retreats are a highlight of my year.”
Please join us for the 2025 Intellectual Retreat on August 8–9 to explore the topic “Faith in a Technological Age” at the Union League Club of New York.
