Educators' Repose

Upcoming Dates

About the Retreat

This retreat is for educators looking for renewal. In a world that is so FULL – full of both bad and good, sorrow and rejoicing, restrictive limits and great opportunities, and so many DEMANDS from everywhere – how do we begin to live life that is like the life of Jesus? 
 
We must hear what the Father says to us and about us. We must be willing to follow Jesus. We must learn to dance with the Holy Spirit. And we must learn what it means to live in the Kingdom now, not just in the future. Such will be the concerns you will have the opportunity to ponder during the 2025 Educators Summer Repose – Living in Light of the Father’s Love
 
During this retreat, you will have time for personal reflection with God, opportunities to process and share what He is doing in your life, and the opportunity to connect with others who understand your journey. You will also find time for rest and prayer. Participation is limited to 15 people.
 
If you would like to come earlier or stay after your retreat dates, lodging is available with a discounted rate. Please call our reservations line at 719-265-7050.
