Workshop Description

This virtual retreat geared towards clergy and ministry caregivers will assist participants in developing life-giving practices that will help sustain them in ministry and in the marketplace. During the time spent together, one goal is to explore self-care practices participants are currently embodying, then retreat leaders will offer assistance to create a regular pattern of rest and renewal to navigate busy, hectic schedules and reduce burnout and fatigue. Time and space will also be provided to discover encouragement amongst peers as well as to experience rejuvenation within a supportive community of caregivers and care seekers. This two and a half hour virtual retreat will include various elements, including presentations from the leaders on the benefits of embodying regular rhythms of rest as well as sharing spiritual practices. Prayer and meditation will be included, along with small group work and large group discussion and sharing.

The same retreat leaders led a very well-received virtual retreat for clergy and ministry caregivers in January 2021. Back by popular demand, these leaders are returning to lead another impactful self-care retreat with a different theme and focus.

The virtual retreat will use Zoom technology as a delivery format. The online retreat will meet on Saturday, September 25, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. EDT. Participants will need an electronic device equipped with a reliable internet connection, built-in or external microphone, and a built-in or external webcam. Each registered participant will receive a link prior to the retreat.
