Our theme this year being 'Soul care for busy leaders'
Exploring afresh the need to make time for ourselves if we are to be of any use to anyone. One important aspect of our time being able to just stop and go for a walk.
So up the 199 steps to the Abbey ruins
Take in the views
And down again to the harbour
Then a walk out to the lighthouse
And taking in the rolling grey waves
And looking up again to the abbey.
The best thing I find about being with our fellow superintendents is to be with people who really do care about what they are doing. Laughter has been frequent as we now know one another quite well representing the eight circuits of the Sheffield District. So eleven supers and the chair of district makes for an interesting mix of personalities.
So one more session tonight and then business meeting tomorrow followed by communion and then return home. Our retreat is about investing in our well being. A reminder that we all need the ebb and flow of life to have fulfillng lives.
