Summer Fallow Retreat 2023
July 21, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - July 23, 2023 @ 3:00 pm
We’re heading back to Lancaster for our next quarterly retreat! This carefully curated weekend of rest includes times alone and times together, designed to give you the space to slow down and the structure to process the rapidly moving pieces of your life. The primary goal of our Listening Retreats is to help you discern God’s voice above all other voices in your life, empowering you to confidently move forward in your calling.
Our annual retreat rhythm each summer is a FALLOW RETREAT: We have 44 hours to put on pause all external pressures, deadlines, and expectations and allow yourself to lay fallow. This means no productivity and instead allowing yourself the time to do the things that you enjoy, things that normally get pushed aside or that you would feel guilty doing because of all of life’s exegencies. This weekend is a balcony moment, a chance to step out of your regular routines of busy-ness and intentionally practice inactivity to restore the unseen places of our lives.
Just as the flourishing of a tree is dependent upon the health of its roots and soil, so too are work and spirituality interconnected and interdependent. Spirituality is the root system from which our work arises. Our hope for each retreat experience is that your inner spirit might be expanded with new hope, reviving your work with love.
