Re-Entry Retreat Victoria
Refreshment for cross-cultural workers in transition. A residential retreat for singles, couples, and families.
The program commences with dinner and a time of getting to know each other on the first evening and continues the following morning with seminars exploring Loss and Grief and Transitioning Well.
The retreat is then devoted to four cycles of reflection and sharing: Origin and Call, Gifts Given and Gifts Received, Troubles and Fears and Vision for the Future. These themes are addressed in the context of the whole group, in small groups and individually.
During the retreat, there are opportunities for worship, celebration of your service, relaxation, private conversations, prayer and time alone with God.
You can expect to be heard, understood and appreciated by others with similar experiences. You will be offered the opportunity to recognise and acknowledge how your experiences have enriched and changed you. Some cross-cultural workers will be in transition from one location or position to another. Others find it beneficial to attend a few months or even several years after they leave their field of service.
The retreat is conducted by experienced cross-cultural workers from various fields and agencies. Throughout the retreat the facilitators will be available for informal sharing and prayer.
A concurrent TCK transition program is conducted for primary and secondary aged children. For details please contact John Barclay at: jb2kna@gmail.com
A program for tertiary-aged young adults is also available. For details please contact Kath Williams at: tcknational@missionsinterlink.org.au
