You are invited to three retreats (plus a couple one-day retreats) in 2025 for Christian leaders of any tradition who have not given up on the broken but beautiful Church. Holy space to heal from where we’ve been AND reimagine a new way forward. We’ll explore a vision for ministry in this tumultuous moment, practices to sustain our weary souls and bodies, solidarity with others on the journey, and tangible tools to put Jesus’ words into personal and communal practice. Ecumenical, contemplative, experimental, practice-based, and relentlessly hope-filled.

What is the same?
Each retreat will be particular to its location, but all three will share the same framework, intentions, and values.
Healing, solidarity, re-imagination
A retreat for shared practices, not a conference for content
Ecumenical and diverse guides
Same two-day rhythm: gathering/invitation, personal retreat, delight/celebration, and practical tools
