The week-long intensive sessions will take place at the beautiful Sacred Waters Center for Restoration and Retreat on the Hood Canal in Union, WA.
In June we will be offering “Year A” of our program, which includes a broad focus on internal congregational processes of engagement and thriving to include listening processes that create ownership and inform action. Both sessions are residential. Tuition covers room and board at the conference center, materials, trainers and other costs.
In August we will be offering “Year B” of our content. We’ll be working on culture, group dynamics, congregational vocation/identity, how we join God in gathering-transforming-sending folk, change processes, episcopal identity, neighborhood engagement, cultural diversity, power dynamics, and developmental skills for liberation and social justice work.

The Sacred Waters Center for Restoration and Retreat is a serene sanctuary nestled above the shores of Hood Canal in Union, Washington. This retreat center is a new ministry expanding on the legacy of St. Andrew’s House and incorporating the newly acquired property formerly known as Harmony Hill, which was a center of healing and restoration. Sacred Waters is dedicated to the healing of individuals, communities, and the natural world and provides a rich variety of offerings. The location features panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains, tranquil gardens, a labyrinth centered around a 150-year-old sequoia, and a “windphone” where visitors can speak to loved ones who’ve passed. Whether you’re seeking quiet reflection, creative expression, or community connection, Sacred Waters welcomes all with open arms.
