Join us for 7 weeks in March and April 2025 to explore what is sacred self-care. 

This Lent, join us for a seven-week guided educational series designed to cultivate sacred self-care.  Through intentional reflection and practice, we will explore key aspects of wellbeing – including self-compassion, healthy boundaries, emotional and mental wellness, and more – to nourish the soul and equip us to live more fully and faithfully.

Open to seminarians, clergy, and all people of faith, this series offers a meaningful opportunity to renew your spirit and embrace a more balanced, wholehearted life. Join us as we journey toward renewal together.
