Soul Care Retreat for Front-line Workers

Give yourself permission to pause and restore.

All front-line care workers are invited to slow down and rest. Are you working in the medical & emergency services , as a teacher, personal support work, social support services, or any front-line capacity?

We’d love to welcome you to retreat.

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

If you’re feeling frayed or fatigued, and wanting to ground yourself in God, this retreat is designed with you in mind.

It’s time to slow down so you can tend to your soul.

The first retreat really struck a chord with over 100 front-line workers from across the country.

This retreat is all new content than the one offered last December.

You’re welcome to participate again, or for the very first time.


DETAILS:

Date: Sunday, March 7 (*or, register, get the replay link, and retreat at a time that suits you best.)

Time: 1pm - 4pm EST

Cost: $25.00 - We do not want finances to be a barrier, so if you’re unable to pay the amount, pay what you can.

** If you know of a front-line worker who should attend, you can register and gift them this retreat!

Who: This retreat is specifically crafted for those working on the front-line. The retreat will be using images and language from the Christian tradition, but those who do not identify as Christian are welcome to attend as well.

What: The retreat will be facilitated to help you slow down in body, mind, and spirit, so you can tune into the loving presence of God in a very particular and personal way. There will be words of encouragement, a variety of prayer practices, and an opportunity to join break out rooms with others, but only if you are interested in doing so.

This entire retreat experience is in service to your soul.


*Please note you’ll be taken to The New Leaf Website to complete your registration.
