“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Our culture values hard work over rest. Burnout is rampant. Our jobs, obligations, churches often expect us to work relentlessly. Hard work is good, but it is not the goal. We often preach about the importance of Sabbath, but how often do we take our own advice? What we need is to take time to breathe, to engage our senses, to use neglected literal and figurative muscles so that we might discover the renewal Sabbath offers.
Join us as we seek to discover renewal through activities as a way to be reminded that we can find this renewal in the most common of places.
This four-day retreat combines spiritual nourishment, practical education, and recreational activities for anyone seeking opportunities for renewal. Participants can choose from a variety of themed experiences designed to foster personal growth, creativity, and connection with nature. One of the offerings will include a special “resiliency” focus, led by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), created especially for pastors, church leaders, and volunteers—regardless of denomination—who have been walking alongside congregations in Helene-affected areas, supporting those engaged in long-term disaster recovery.
The event will feature:
-
-
- Daily morning devotionals
- Educational sessions on building spiritual resilience
- Peer networking opportunities
- Recreational “funshops” including opportunities such as yoga, hiking, fly fishing, and art
- All-inclusive accommodations and meals at the beautiful Montreat Conference Center
