Give yourself permission to pause and rest to restore.

A life without a quiet centre easily becomes delusional.

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

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.

Whether it's your first time, or you're coming back a second time to care for your soul, we've got brand new material, prayers and exercises.

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 ministry 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”.

This online retreat will be thoughtfully crafted to restore you, not exhaust you.
