Retreats

Is your church or institution ready for a single- or multi-day retreat? Want to slow down and discuss some spiritually rich topics with space to discuss and reflect? Professor Baker will customize the event to meet your needs. Here are some possible topics:

  • Courageous Prayer (reflections on Teresa of Avila)

  • Contemplating Nature (reflections on Maximus the Confessor)

  • Connecting with God, self, and others (reflections on Henri Nouwen)

  • What is Christian Wisdom? (reflections on the Epistle of James)

  • Hope for Creation (reflections on theology and climate crisis)

"Dr. Tony Baker has led multiple retreats for St. Julian of Norwich Episcopal Church.  Dr. Baker has a unique gift of bringing profound theological insights in accessible ways to inform and grow the lives of Christians seeking to live their faith daily at work and home in meaningful ways.  Dr. Baker is warm, approachable, kind, wise, and full of humor and fun!  I wholeheartedly recommend him as a retreat leader for your own community.”

—The Rev. Miles R. Brandon, II, Vicar, St. Julian of Norwich Episcopal Church
