“Musings of a Reluctant Contemplative: the doing/being conundrum"
Whether your call is crystal clear, or muddled by a life tuned more to church administration than closeness to God, every pastor can relate to the need for more time spent honoring their own soul and reflecting on this curious vocation. Join us for a time with the Rev. Dr. Garry Schmidt, Executive Director of Directions: Centre for Sacramental Vocation in exploring the shape of our souls and the ministry that comes from within.

About the retreat leader:
Garry Schmidt is no stranger to Utah; after completing his doctoral work on developing and sustaining clergy wholeness, he was on staff at Salt Lake Theological Seminary - teaching on spiritual formation, psychology and spirituality. While in Utah, he also led clergy support groups and is a familiar presence to some in our Presbytery. Garry is the Executive Director of Directions: Centre for Sacramental Vocation and currently serves an Anglican Church in Vernon, BC. He has led seminars on topics ranging from ‘Noticing Interior Spiritual Movements’ to ‘Pride & Despair: The faces of burnout’. Garry comes highly recommended to us and we already know we’ll want to be with him more than 2 days!
