The UUMA and the UUA are so pleased to bring you Tending to the Landscape of Your Ministry, a virtual retreat for community ministers.
The pre-retreat sessions are Sunday evening Zoom sessions where you will find space to consider the soil of your ministerial setting and to what extent it can be tended and enriched. The post-retreat session will make space for you to celebrate what you have harvested from your intentional care.
July/Aug Retreat Information:
July 31, 2026- Sunday, August 2, 2026. Similar to the last Community Ministers Retreat, we will be offering you the opportunity to stay in your home, or to meet in PODS with other Community Ministers. It will be a build-your-own retreat, where we will provide three hours each day of online content during the July/Aug weekend that you can engage with individually or in self-organized gatherings.
Friday is your "get ready for the retreat day." For those going somewhere to retreat, you will travel and set up. You might meet your POD for dinner.
On Saturday and Sunday we will gather for three hours beginning at 12pm ET/ 11am CT/ 10 am MT/ 9am PT / 6am HT. Chaplains will be available to you and we will also have the opportunity to sign up for a 30 minute session with a spiritual director later in the afternoon after our three hours of programming.
