SUMMARY:Radical Hope: A Clergy Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A LeaderSHIFT Offering with With Rev. Therese DesCamps and Robyn Froese\nRadical Hope: A Clergy Retreat\nMonday April 20 – Thursday April 23\, 2026\nIn-Person at Naramata Centre\n\n\n\n\nRetreat Overview\n\nBeginning 3pm\, Monday\, April 20\nClosing with lunch at 12pm\, Thursday\, April 23\nPrivate accommodation\, all meals and snacks provided\nAfternoon optional experiences included\, such as Healing Touch\, Cranial-Sacral Therapy\, Yoga\, Forest Bathing/Wild Church\, and Spiritual Direction\n\nRegistration Information\n\n$775 per person (private accommodation)\nRegistration: https://app.amilia.com/store/en/chinook-pacific-uccan/shop/programs/98110?subCategoryIds=6316175\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThough the fig tree does not blossom and no fruit is on the vines;\nthough the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food… yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:17-18) \nThe prophet Habakkuk lived in a time of great turmoil and injustice. His short three-chapter book condemns both the corruption of his own people and the brutality of their enemies. Yet at the end of the book\, as Habakkuk faces into famine and destruction\, he sings of joy. \nWhat enables this kind of hope? Is this a delusion\, a spiritual bypass\, a vindictive taunt of Israel’s enemies? Or is Habakkuk actually filled with a radical hope that is not dependent on good outcomes? And if this is radical hope\, how do we get some of that? \nOur time together at Naramata will explore how we face into the storm of the world we live in; how we are connected (and why this is wonderful and awful at the same time); our work of giving attention; how we allow prayer to heal and equip us; and the sacramental practice of letting go. \nYou can expect to leave this retreat feeling refreshed. Better yet\, you can expect to identify the practices that will work in your own life\, to settle more deeply into your own call to ministry\, to connect with others for mutual support\, and to rest in a radical revision of hope. \nFor more information and registration: Radical Hope Clergy Retreat — LeaderSHIFT UCCan
