Rule of Life Refresh Retreat
Saturday, June 6, 2026
9am – 12pm
Cost: $70
“A Rule of Life is a pattern of intentional habits intended
to cultivate a sustained life of love with God.”
If you have a Rule (you might call it a Rhythm of Life or your guidelines for living) and are attempting to live by it, however imperfectly, but want some intentional community and time to observe with God what needs to be refreshed so you will be sustained by it, then join our Rule of Life Refresh Retreat.
- It’s new and you are still trying things out
- You made one but find you just don’t follow it even though you want to
- It’s overwhelming or boring
- It’s not really sustaining your soul
- You’ve outgrown it
- Life has changed and its rhythms aren’t suitable
In this 3-hour morning retreat we will consider together what is working for you and what isn’t, common pitfalls, and what invitations God has for you to discover the trellis that does support your current growth. There will be time for group listening and sharing as well as individual work on your rule so that when you re-enter the daily spaces of your life, you go with a clearer way through. You will have uncovered some patterns and possibilities for you to live sustained and connected to the love of God within the practicalities of your unique life.
If you participated in the Create Your Rule of Life Retreat in January, this is an opportunity to continue the good work begun then.
And if you have a Rule of Life but it has fallen by the wayside, come! As long as you have created one in the past (and still have it) and desire to follow one now this retreat will be beneficial to you.
Details
Prerequisite
You have made a personal or communal Rule of Life.
>> You made one in the past and still have it, but don’t use it now
>> You follow one but it needs a refresh or an overhaul
This retreat WILL NOT help you CREATE a Rule of Life or teach what it is, we assume this has already been learned.
“A good rule of life if not a complicated how-to manual, but a sheltering and sustaining place.”
~Margaret Guenther, Holy Listening
