About the Retreat
When life takes one too many unexpected turns, do you find yourself saying, “I don’t know who I am anymore”? Do you wonder if you’ll ever have a sense of purpose again? If so, you’re not alone.
But what if losing an identity can help you discover who you really are? What if the adversity you face could release your best gifts into the world? What if life going wrong could be the making of you?
That’s what this online retreat will be all about. Through story, scripture, video clips and reflective exercises, we will journey to discover who you can become when life doesn’t go as planned.

A Retreat, Not a Webinar
This is a retreat, not a webinar. We start each session with a prayer exercise. There will be times of quietness interspersed with the content to give you time to reflect. There will downloadable activity sheets and quality content – no advertorial, no calls to buy anything.
As much as possible, we will recreate the environment of a regular face-to-face retreat so we can each meet with God and grow. Bring a bible, a journal, a candle, a coffee, and your prayerful openness.
Here’s What We’ll Cover
Session 1: How to Hear God’s Voice
In this session we’ll look at three key principles for hearing God’s voice, explore the variety of methods he uses, and clarify how to sift God’s whispers from our own subconscious desires
Session 2: A Peek at Your Future Self
In this second session you will be stretched a little as we look at what your ‘true self’ is and isn’t, discovering the ways in which we best grow and how to participate in them
Session 3: Discovering Who You Really Are
You are more than your marital status and your job description. In this session we will look at your hidden or neglected identities, and discover what happens when you rest deep in being a child of God
Session 4: The River From Which All Your Callings Flow
Here we will take a deep dive into the primacy of love, teasing out exactly what it is and how it fuels our gifts, talents and life callings
Session 5: Recycling Trials into Powerful Purpose
Some inspiration and practical tips on taking what you’ve been through and turning it into service to others in ways you may never have imagined
“I’ve become aware of God’s presence in a way I’ve never previously known. I’ve also found new friends in the participants”

FAQs
Will I be able to interact with other participants?
Yes. This is a common request and one reason we’re using Facebook Groups to gather. Past experience suggests some lovely community will form
Will there be a replay?
Yes, available to watch or re-watch whenever you like
What if I miss a live session?
No problem. The replay will be available whenever you’re ready and I will respond to any questions you leave in the group
Can I participate if I’m not on Facebook?
Unfortunately not. To maintain privacy for those involved, the sessions cannot be viewed from outside the closed groups
What if I (or you) fall ill?
Coronavirus has us all thinking about the future. The majority of cases, however, result only in flu-like symptoms. If you were to fall ill, the videos and worksheets would be available whenever you were feeling better, or a refund offered if you couldn’t continue. In the unlikely event I couldn’t continue presenting, a full refund would be given
