Retreat Guides
Every retreat is different, but you can always expect to spend time in scripture, reflecting on some questions, and time for rest between. We want you to take the time at your own pace, whether your retreat is 4 or 8 or 24 hours. Many also include poems, songs, prayers, and writings from faithful women and men of the past. May they be a blessing to you.
January
A day long retreat using the story of Lazarus from John 11. Using the metaphor of baking bread, you'll mix ingredients (scripture), knead the dough (reflect), let it rise (rest), bake (respond), and feast (celebrate).

August
This retreat of silence is your invitation to press pause, step away from the endless needs and chaotic pace, and tend to your inner life. In the holy pause, Jesus invites you to be consecrated, sanctified, purified, and surrendered in preparation for what God desires to do in and through you for God’s name and your joy.

October
This retreat can be taken individually or communally and is designed to be restorative to your whole being. Our prayer is that it reorients your awareness of your sacred identity, your true self hidden in Christ, and your treasured existence formed and knit together by God for his utter delight. You, dear one, are the beloved of Christ.

About the authors
The Spiritual Formation team has a national team, as well as about 35-50 practitioners serving in regions throughout the country. Some of us are generalists, some are specialists (like spiritual directors or pilgrimage leaders), many serve in staff director roles— but all of us are focused on formation. We help mostly staff, but also students, tend to their souls and the Lord’s presence there. We believe that who we are becoming in Christ shapes the work that we do.
