WHAT YOU’LL COME AWAY WITH

This day will give you a chance to listen to God, rest and reset, and connect with others as a reminder that you’re not alone. Callie and Jerusalem will lead you in contemplation, connection, and soul-enriching conversation, as well as an activity that draws on your creativity.

Retreat location & Schedule

The Lenten Day Retreat will be hosted on Jerusalem’s farm in Newton, NJ, from 1 - 5 pm EST on Saturday, March 4. If you’re coming from afar, we’ll send recommendations of places to grab a bite beforehand and/or to stay overnight. Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy part of the day outside exploring the farm; otherwise, we’ll gather inside the farmhouse. More details will be send after you register!

LOGISTICS AND COST

We welcome all women and gender-expansive people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women! Due to space, registration is capped at 10. In the space of this retreat, we commit to embracing antiracist principles, and strive to be inclusive of all ages, abilities, social locations, and more. You can note on your registration form or reach out directly about any needs for accommodations related to dis/ability.

The cost for the Lenten Day Retreat is $95. Please be in touch if you’d like to contribute toward another woman’s registration fee or if you’d like financial assistance. Those individuals with continuing education or professional funds can use those to register; an email receipt will be sent.

Note: When completing registration, you’ll select “add to cart,” then you’ll need to select the cart/bag icon again to pay and check out. (Otherwise your registration will be incomplete and we won’t know you wanted to join us!)

We hope you’ll take a pause with us this Lent.
