Description of retreat from Fr. David:
"Awakening, Turning and Leaping is a retreat for clergy centered on the dynamics of
shepherding in the Hypostatic Mode. Drawing from the spiritual vision of Saint Sophrony and some of his spiritual children, the retreat explores pastoral work as a continuous parallel encounter of “self-offering” and “other-reception” between Christ-as-Great-Shepherd, Clergymen-as-Shepherds, and the Sheep of the Faithful, cycling and ever-transforming throughout the Stages of Spiritual Life.

Together, participants will reflect on the “Hypostatic Interchange” as a foundation for
shepherding, the development of Personhood through the Three Stages of Spiritual
Life, and the unique challenges and possibilities of the Second Stage as a shared
“Hypostatic Arena” for both shepherd and flock. Special attention will be given to the
awakening of the “Two-Fold Vision” in pastoral life and the parallel work of “turning” and “supporting the turn” within adversity and spiritual struggle. The retreat culminates in reflecting on a central vision for the shepherd: the continuous
and climactic call for both he and those under his care to “Leap into the Hands of God.”

It literally takes a village here! It’s an honor to serve all of you both in person & all over the world. Christ is Risen!
