Five leaders of various traditions, including Roman Catholic, American Baptist, Unitarian, United Methodist, and Episcopalian, and are lesbian, straight, gay, partnered, married, celibate, male and female, aged 41-65 are seeking to deepen and sustain learning in pastoral leadership and best practices in ministry, as well as renew their spirits by engaging in quarterly retreats over the next two years. They will meet once every three months for 2-3 day retreats in the Pacific Northwest. These retreats will be planned and facilitated by members of the cohort and outside facilitators, and will include individual reflection, prayer, group reflection and support, feasting and play. Their celebrated diversity they believe will contribute to the spiritual renewal they seek.
