Coming (Back) To Life, Deepening Connection: A Series of Virtual Mini Retreats for Clergy
The pandemic has left some things feeling broken and other things feeling broken open. This
series will be a chance to bring some intentional pause into your life on a regular, recurring
schedule. It will be time to gather with others to nourish your heart and spirit through
community and curiosity. Once each month, a group of clergy peers will gather for 90 minutes
via Zoom to prayerfully dive into a theme (like prayer, sabbath, hope, discernment, sorrow),
with time for personal- and shared reflection. Each facilitated session will be an opportunity to
engage body, heart and mind, and a time to notice, remember, and tend those dry or shifted
parts of you. Sessions will follow a rhythm of arrival to retreat mode, consideration of a topic,
personal reflection, optional sharing, exploration of relevant spiritual practices and steps for
further exploration. Prior to each meeting, participant will receive some quotes, questions
musical links, or other materials to cultivate attention to the upcoming theme.
Planned themes include:
• Sabbath
• Discernment
• Listening & Grace
• Sorrow & Grief
• Creation & Incarnation/Embodiment
• Prayer
