Soul Care Retreat for Ministry & Non-Profit Leaders

Give yourself permission to pause and rest to restore.

A life without a quiet centre easily becomes delusional

Be still and know that I am God.
— Psalm 46:10

This year has been challenging. One you never could have prepared for.

It’s time to slow down so you can tend to your soul.

If you’re feeling frayed or fatigued, and wanting to ground yourself in the love of God, this retreat is designed with you in mind to restore you, not exhaust you.

Give yourself the gift of engaging in restorative prayer practices that help you centre yourself so you can “be still and know” . You’ll be in good company with leaders from all over Canada and, if you prefer, you can participate “anonymously” over Zoom with your screen-share off.

It’s your chance to just “be”.

The first retreat really struck a chord with over 100 leaders from across the country.

This retreat is all new content than the one offered last November.

You’re welcome to participate again, or for the very first time.


DETAILS:

Did you miss the live retreat but still want to get the recording and retreat on your own? We’ve created a virtual retreat package for you to use on your own between now and Easter.



Who: This retreat is crafted for those working in Christian ministry and not-for-profit settings. Participate alone, or invite your staff teams to retreat together.

What: The retreat will be facilitated to help you slow down in body, mind, and spirit, so you can tune into the loving presence of God in a very particular and personal way. There will be words of encouragement, a variety of prayer practices, and an opportunity to join break out rooms with others, but only if you are interested in doing so.

This entire retreat experience is in service to your soul.
