Join us this September on beautiful Vancouver Island for a restorative retreat designed especially for spiritual directors and those engaged in the ministry of spiritual accompaniment.
Guided by Ann McCallum, this retreat will focus on building community, caring for your soul, and creating space to encounter God through rest, reflection, prayer, and meaningful connection. Throughout the weekend, participants will be invited into a rhythm of renewal through guided experiences, quiet spaces, and opportunities for shared conversation.
Whether you are seeking refreshment for your own spiritual journey or encouragement for your ministry practice, this retreat offers space to slow down, listen deeply, and be renewed.
