It all begins with asking the question “How do I find recovery and transformation on a Sabbatical?” We start with this clear question - it compels us to knit together a truly holistic journey that engages the mind, the heart and the body. Our 2-to-3-month Sabbatical Pathway is carefully prepared for maximum emotional recovery, personal discovery, and vocational renewal.

We’ve crafted thorough Curriculum that can be walked through at your own pace. It is built around the essential R’s of Rest, Reflection, Reorientation, and Rhythm’s. Each of these essential aspects of your Sabbatical will help you pace your time and energy for incremental transformation. Each stage will bring a new level of awareness. The Curriculum is supported by Coaching at key moments to help you get unstuck and moving forward.

At the heart of our Sabbatical Pathway is 5-day experience in Puerto Rico @ the Kineo Center. Over 400 people have plunged into this renovating retreat between the mountains and Carribean Sea. This retreat is tailored to your unique ministry pains and exhaustion but also created to explore healing and hopeful possibilities. This part of your Sabbatical is designed for a breakthrough.

We help you discern and design a creative project during your Sabbatical. What is a Creative Project? It is purposeful plan to explore, grow or develop in a new area in your life. This part of your Sabbatical is specifically about finding God in your hands and in your body in immersive ways. Would you like to learn bread making, birdwatching, scuba diving? Discover trauma-informed therapy, the castles of Great Britain, the Enneagram? Would you want the challenge of hiking part of the Appalachian Trail or climbing a peak in the Adirondack Mountains? We’ll help you listen to God and yourself in new ways.

At the end of your Sabbatical we will provide you with a toolkit for entering back into the orbit of your ministry vocation. We want to see you move towards sustainability with what you’ve learned during your sabbatical. This toolkit will resource you with emotional, relational, and spiritual practices. This is an all-in-one electronic e-book you’ll have at your fingertips to revisit and reapply how to live from soul-health as a ministry leader.
