(At Capacity) Breathe: A Day Retreat for Rest & Renewal

Update: This event is current at capacity. We will keep the public apprised of any openings.

Life moves fast, and sometimes we just need to pause. Breathe is a day-retreat for anyone feeling that pull to slow down, rest, and reconnect with God without the rush.

Come explore different ways of being present with the Divine—try new spiritual practices, sit in quiet reflection, or simply breathe. It’s space to discover what feeds your soul and what you might want to weave into your everyday life when you head back home.

You can join our guided sessions or spend some time in solitude—whatever feels right for you. Think of it as giving yourself permission to just be. And if someone in your life could use this kind of gentle restoration too, we have discounted rates for additional registrations.

Workshops include:

• “Just Breathe: Parenting as a Spiritual Practice” with Kathleen Crevasse
• “Visio Divina: Sacred Seeing Through the New Iconography of Lviv” with Carly Lane
• “Scripture & Stanza: Poetry as Spiritual Practice” with Bishop Brian Cole and Canon Emily Bruner Doane
• “Restorative Yoga/Embodied Prayer” with Christy Bonner
• “Sacred Thresholds: Cultivating Sacred Spaces in Everyday Places” with the Rev. Casey Perkins
• “Walking the Labyrinth Breath by Breath” with Margy Oehmig
• “Sanctuary” with the Rev. Sarah Hess

A spa lunch will be provided. Childcare is available. The cost to attend is $25 per person and $15 to add a friend. The day begins with registration at 9:30 AM with our first session at 10:00 AM. The day will conclude around 3:00 PM. The day retreat will take place at Thankful Memorial Episcopal Church, Chattanooga.

This event is brought to you by The School for Contemplation and Discipleship, a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee.
