About this Event

This July 9th - 12th, join Socrates in the City on our first retreat of its kind to historic Oxford for four days to tour the city, hear from our world class speakers, dine and chat with host Eric Metaxas, converse with like-minded friends, and more, all while staying in a landmark hotel at the city center. This trip of a lifetime is sure to be an enriching and thought-provoking experience set against the historic and intellectually vibrant backdrop of Oxford. This unique retreat is designed to offer participants a deep dive into the exploration of life's most profound questions within the realm of philosophy, theology, and beyond, guided by the spirit of Socratic inquiry that encourages questioning and dialogue. In typical SITC fashion, all of the interviews and lectures will be filmed in broadcast quality and posted to our website and YouTube.


The total cost of the retreat is $4,000 per person. This includes overnight accommodations at The Randolph Hotel, meals, private tours, and interviews & lectures with world class speakers. Price of admission does not include airfare or transportation to Oxford. To secure your spot, a deposit of $1,000 is required. This deposit ensures your reservation with the remaining balance of $3,000 due by June 1st.

Given the high level of interest and due to limited availability, we encourage you to sign up at your earliest convenience. Once all spots are filled, we will be unable to accommodate more guests. If you're registering for two individuals, please remember to submit two separate deposits to secure both spots.
