Renewal Retreats

April 29, 2015

Renewal Retreats about creating space for Christian leaders in ministry and business to experience holistic renewal and spiritual direction.

 

 

 

 

The Retreat Experience

Renewal Retreats are individual, personalized retreats tailored around your chosen intention (need/longing) for getting away.  For each retreat we thoughtfully draw from the formation-rich environment of the Asbury Seminary community and craft personalized days to move you slowly through formative experiences aimed toward your intention for the retreat.  Most retreats begin with a professional massage as well as a conversation with a personal trainer to discuss health and choose a gentle way to engage the body during the retreat.  The other elements of your retreat are chosen to fit your request.  These might include a conversation with faculty around Scripture, discerning prayer times, thoughtful leadership advice, sharing in the Eucharist and participating in chapel, fasting in solitude or delving into study.

Responses from Alumni

“Thank you!  Thank you!  I am leaving renewed, refreshed, and healed.  This week was what I needed.” – Pastor on retreat
“Purposeful rest helped me keep haphazard busyness at bay.  As much as there is a “ministry of presence” maybe there is also a “ministry of absence” (meaning it is good for me to get away).  The fact that everything [at the retreat] is cared for is a  great blessings.  After it is planned, you just show up.” – Leader on retreat
“I feel like I came away from this retreat with a greater sense of purpose and motivation in my spiritual life.” – Pastor on retreat
