Heads Retreat 2024: The Spirituality of Leadership

Tuesday, February 27, 2024 (12pm - 4pm US/Central)

Christ Church Cathedral
1210 Locust St.
St. Louis, MO 63103




Join us for a transformative retreat experience designed specifically for heads of school. Inspired by the profound wisdom of Henri Nouwen's Three Movements of the Spiritual Life, participants will delve into a journey of personal and professional growth as we explore Nouwen's insights, guiding us through the movements from rejection to acceptance, belonging to solitude, and hostility to hospitality.

This retreat offers a unique opportunity to deepen self-awareness, foster resilience, and cultivate a nurturing environment within your peer community. Participants will engage in reflective discussions, contemplative practices, and collaborative sessions aimed at empowering and enriching your leadership with spiritual wisdom. Immerse yourself in a supportive setting that fosters a deeper understanding of oneself, connections with others, and a more profound spiritual outlook.

Elevate your leadership skills and invigorate your spirit at this exclusive retreat tailored for Episcopal heads of school.
