In partnership with Barnabas Landing, the Pastors Retreat is a three night getaway for pastors and their spouses to rest, have fun & build relationships with other pastoral couples.

This retreat will explore what encounters might occur as we seek God’s presence in our internal worlds, our interpersonal relationships, and our ecological environment. Together we will share stories, engage in creative practices, and spend time in the rich nature of Crieff Hills. Our schedule will be relaxed, with time to walk the labyrinth or get out on the trails. Savour luxurious food and great conversation. Take in engaging workshops and sit by the fire in the evening.

There may never have been a more challenging time in our society to maintain hope, to do soul work and to know how to pursue social justice. It seems that every week brings bad news, whether it comes in the form of climate reports, election results or news of war. Deep resilience is sorely needed just as our culture flees from the ancient wisdom traditions that fostered resilience in our forbears. We need places where we can be vulnerable and honest and can draw upon the healing powers of wisdom traditions.

After the busy Easter season, you’ve earned a break. We invite you to come and take that break with us! Iron Sharpening Iron is offering a 28-hour program designed to reinvigorate your mind, body, and spirit.
