Use in a solo retreat format or invite some friends to join you!
As part of our mission to cultivate clergy and leaders for faithful and flourishing ministry we invite all clergy to spend some time with intentional self-reflection to create a Seasonal Focus Plan. The plan is rooted in practices and instruction that enables participants to step away from external pressures and activities and lean into what the Holy Spirit may be inviting them to in this season.
For Your Life is a self-guided retreat curriculum designed by Rev. Dr. Ashlee Alley Crawford and Rev. Dr. Shelly Petzthat includes instructional videos, personal exercises, and a flexible framework for paying attention to one’s soul and also listening to God’s call in this season. The five sessions (videos plus solo work), could be engaged in as briefly as a two day retreat, or could be a half-day experience once a week for four weeks. Here are the objectives of For Your Life:
This curriculum is designed specifically for pastors who are in a season of transition, whether that is a new appointment, beginning or ending Renewal Leave, amid changes in family-dynamics, or even just looking for an opportunity to “reboot” for a new season. We suggest creating some space to have a solo retreat, or even invite a few friends to retreat together and engage the 5 sessions and 4 solo assignments.
Register here at least two weeks before you’d like to begin your For Your Life experience. $10 per participant, which includes access to the online video curriculum and a mailed copy of a retreat notebook.
