Clergy Rest and Renewal Retreat 2024


  • Naramata Centre 460 Ellis Avenue Naramata, BC, V0H 1N0 Canada (map)

A four-day retreat for United Church ministry personnel of deep rest, renewal, community, prayer, and self-care.

Join LeaderSHIFT and Pacific Mountain Region’s Ministry Personnel Support Team from October 22-25, 2024 in Naramata, Okanagan Syilx territory.

Caring for our relationship with God, our deepest self and our vocation is one of the most responsible choices we can make as clergy - for our ministry, communities of faith, family and, of course, for ourselves.

About your time away

We invite you to come centre your spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental health, in worshipful and grounded community. During this 4-day in-person retreat, held at Naramata Centre in the heart of Naramata Village, you will enjoy private accommodation with all meals, snacks, and course materials provided -- supporting your time of learning, reflecting, and rest. Sharing times of worship, music and intentional silence, you'll delight in the beauty of place, finding and making fun -- all in the company of colleagues.

With Rev. Wade Lifton

There is truly nothing more important than this right now. We hope you’ll join us.
