United Lutheran Seminary in Partnership with Regions 7 & 8 Synods present:
Summer Institute for Ministry – A Rostered Leaders Event
Rest - Renew - Reframe

Registration >>

Feeling emotionally spent, spiritually absent, and heading toward burnout?  You are not alone!  Join us for the 2021 ULS Summer Institute at Claggett Retreat Center in the rolling hills of Maryland where we’ll begin to breathe out the feelings of guilt, cynicism, and confrontation, and explore ways to be resilient, hold holy space, address struggles, and seek wellness even in the face of trauma and grief.  Join us for this time with other Rostered Leaders to gather in person to rest, renew, reframe and breathe in God’s calling for us in this time.

Each day will have no more than four hours of learning and will offer multiple times in the day to walk the labyrinth, visit a slave gravesite on the Trail of Souls, get a chair massage, nap, enjoy a guided meditation class, read a book on the veranda overlooking the Monocacy river valley, have time with a Spiritual Director or coach, and even find a friend to sit and remember what its like to just chat. We ask each person to bring a small bag of dirt from your home or ministry for our final sending.

This Retreat is presented in collaboration with Region 7 & 8 DEMs and Synod Staff and United Lutheran Seminary
