You know you need rest – real rest, not just a Netflix binge or sleeping in on Saturday. The kind of rest that reconnects you to God, to yourself, and to what truly matters. But between work, kids, responsibilities, and the never-ending to-do list, getting away feels impossible.
What if you didn’t have to go far?
Personal Retreat: A Guide for Mindful Pause is your step-by-step planner for setting apart one intentional day of rest and renewal – whether that’s at home, at a friend’s empty house, a nearby park, or a quiet corner of your church.
This isn’t a vague suggestion to “take a day off.” This is a practical, walk-with-you guide that covers everything from two weeks before your retreat day through your gentle re-entry back into real life.
Inside you’ll find:
- Pre-Retreat Planning — How to choose your day, clarify your intentions, prepare your space, gather supplies, and set boundaries so you can actually show up without guilt or distraction.
- Your Retreat Day Framework — Hour-by-hour guidance through a morning of gentle awakening, a midday of embodied rest, and an afternoon of stillness. Flexible activity options let you customize the day to exactly what your soul needs.
- Transitioning Back — Because the hardest part of any retreat is re-entering your regular life. Includes reflection questions and integration practices so the rest actually sticks.
- Three Complete Schedule Templates — Not sure where to start? Choose from a contemplative, active, or creative retreat day — all laid out and ready to follow.
- Real-Life Customization Tips — For mamas with little ones, women navigating grief, extroverts who recharge differently, and anyone dealing with the guilt of taking time for themselves.
You don’t need a plane ticket or a weekend away to experience real retreat. You just need one day and a plan.
