Thank you! Thank you! I am leaving renewed, refreshed and healed. This week was what I needed. - Pastor on retreat
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 Purposeful rest you slowly through formative helped me keep haphazard experiences aimed toward your busyness at bay. As much as there intention for the retreat. is a “ministry of presence” maybe there 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.
I feel like I came away from this retreat with a greater sense of purpose and motivation in my spiritual life - Pastor on retreat
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 blessing. After it is planned, you just show up. - Leader on 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.
