A Renewal Retreat for Faith Leaders
Renew your spirit, restore your balance, and connect with inspiring faith leaders.
Join a 5-day immersive retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Why this retreat- and why now?
As a faith leader, you carry immense responsibilities—and often, invisible burdens. If you’re moving through the midlife chapter of your calling and longing for space to breathe, reflect, and be understood by peers who walk a similar path, The Sacred Pause is for you.
This five-day retreat invites you to step away from daily responsibilities and reconnect with your inner life. Inspired by midlife wisdom practices, The Sacred Pause offers space to rest deeply, reflect honestly, and realign with purpose.
You'll join a small, diverse community of clergy, practitioners, and spiritual leaders from across faith traditions—each discerning their own next chapter.
You’ll return home renewed, grounded, and reconnected to the inner wisdom that guides your service.
5-Day Retreat hosted at MEA, the world’s first midlife wisdom school in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Facilitated workshops designed for faith leaders:
Who has been carrying much.
For the leader who wants meaningful community with people who understand the particular joys, complexities, and responsibilities of faith leadership.
For the leader who simply needs permission to rest.
“I am always the one taking care of others, and this retreat…was taking care of me.”

“As a pastoral counselor, I know that years of caring for and guiding people take a real toll. Sacred Pause offers a nourishing container to reassess midlife and reflect on what it means to be of service today.”
