Hello and welcome to Between Retreats! Let’s imagine this is to be a virtual retreat center, where we can continue the work of Pastors, Priests and Guides—healing, solidarity, and reimagination—all year long. Whether you just stumbled upon this page with zero context, or have attended every single PP&G retreat, you are welcome here.
Like every living, collaborative space, this is sure to morph and grow over time. But we are beginning with three focuses…
First, each month we will be led by one spiritual guide. They will help us explore how to heal, stand in solidarity, and re-imagine what it can look like to walk in Jesus’ Way. We’ll share video clips of their reflections throughout the month, along with additional resources and perspectives. Crucially, the guide will create a recorded practice that you can download (for free) and use in your personal and communal practice. Finally, at the end of the month, we’ll do a live zoom with the guide to reflect together on the whole month’s experience. We’re so excited!
(We won’t tell you who all the guides are yet…but let me just say that the first guide is our favorite resident poetic prophet! Coming in March.)
Second, Between Retreats will create space to respond and reflect after each retreat. Until this point, the retreats have stood on their own—three days together and then head home! But for those who want to keep exploring the themes and experiences, we invite you here. We’ll post recordings of (some of) the sessions, share additional resources, hear more from circle conversation leaders, and much more. We’re also pursuing various ministry partnerships to help you dive deeply into whatever stream seems to be calling to you.
Finally, while preparing for each retreat, our planning team comes across so many brilliant guides, books, retreats, and spiritual practices. We’d love to invite them all…but then the retreat would be three weeks long! Haha. But this year, Between Retreats will share many of the brilliant ways that our sisters and brothers are living out Christ’s way in the world.
Please subscribe so you don’t miss the journey. And share with anyone who might appreciate the invitation. We’ll officially begin on March 4th…
Grace and peace!
Aaron and the team
