MAKING TIME
Retreats, Workshops, Reunions + Meetings
Retreats, Workshops, and Reunions provide an opportunity for spiritual renewal. We encourage time set apart for renewal, intention, and deeper engagement. Stepping away from life’s daily struggles allows space and time for restoration, renewal, and rest. We create customized programs, using a variety of creative tools: presentations, reflection, meditation, music, movement, silence, writing, and sharing. We create a safe environment which allows participants to identify and claim foundational stories, tell their own stories, and begin to articulate and experience a way forward— a new Sustaining Story. (Retreats can be arranged as single day events or up to 5-7 days.)
Meeting Facilitation Our facilitation and leadership skills allow us to manage any sort of organizational meeting: planning, reimagining, setting goals and timetables, brainstorming, reinvigorating, etc. We can facilitate your agenda in a thoughtful, creative, integrative manner.
Our Associates have worked with a variety of groups, including:
12 Step/ Recovery
Academic/ School Teams
Pastoral Ministers and Leaders
Management Teams
Campus Ministry
Marriage Preparation Couples
Social Justice Groups

A gap in the human go
