Retreating

Retreating is a funny term. In a military sense it usually means backing up, or being on the defensive. But it can also mean to regroup, refresh and resupply. Organise regular resupply is critical to any mission.

To start the year off, our Corps leadership team has retreated. Usually, once a month, the key leaders of the Corps have lunch together and meet for planning and training. This year, for our January meeting, we thought it better to retreat, regroup, refresh and resupply.

To this end we spent a number of hours today at Stillpoint Spirituality Centre in Belair. This was a chance for us to hear from God, spend 2 blocks of time in silent prayer, meditate and rest. While it was a surprisingly cool start to the day, I think it has provided a refreshingly warm start to the year.
