A Radical Rest Retreat: Exploring the Countercultural Nature of Holy Rest Practices
March 19-21, 2026 at Procter Center
Come away and rest… You are invited to join Miriam McKenney, missioner for beloved community, for a retreat centered on the holy practice of radical rest. Spend time alone or in community walking the lake or forest trails, resting in the hammocks, sharing stories, napping, reading, visiting the farm, and finding ways to just slow down.
Our community time will include a collective rest experience in the chapel overlooking Lake Leo, communal worship and reflection, and options for group activities, such as spiritual collage. On Friday evening, we’ll have a porch fellowship complete with s’mores, cocktails, and mocktails. There will also be tables set aside for Silent Meals during all dining hours. Join us as we put the rest in this rest retreat!
This retreat is subsidized by the Beloved Community to lower financial barriers to your participation. We will gather at Procter Center to avail ourselves of the many opportunities to slow down, be in nature, and be in community. Join us!
