Paraklesis Retreats
Why RetreatsAfter being sent out on mission, the twelve disciples of Jesus returned to him and told him all that had been done and taught in his name (Mark 6:31). Jesus responded with an invitation to retreat and rest.
It is because of the rhythm of mission followed by rest that retreats are frequent and highly valued at the Herewithin Network.
Encounter Retreat
What is the Encounter Retreat? It is an overnight retreat centered on experiencing God in creation and community through a rhythm of simplicity and spiritual practices.
