2 1/2 days off the grid to change your teaching and preaching forever. Imagine bonfires, meal sharing, intensive mastermind like sessions and hot seats. We’ll unpack homiletics, sermon crafting, best practices for study and research, emotional and spiritual dynamics and on and on. THAT is what this retreat will be. And oh, did we mention there’s Alpacas? Easily our most intimate, high level, ‘all in’ experience. Join us September 28-30 OR October 3rd-5th for a 30 spot, private Art of Teaching Retreat. We’ll dig deep and share every last tip and secret we have, as we journey together towards sharpening our craft. We will all stay on property with blend of shared and private rooms, with sessions throughout the day and night–with breaks for rest and fun as well. Phones will also be asked to be turned off for large segments throughout our time.
Because of the nature and intimate ‘mastermind’ like quality of this event, as well as capacity of the retreat center and staying on property together, we are capping the group at 30 total people for the first year.

WHEN: Sept. 28-30 OR Oct. 3-5
WHERE: Woodstock, VT
The workshop will be hosted at the idyllic OQ Farm, in Woodstock, Vermont. About 2.5 hours north of Boston this farm has a rich history of hosting people from all over the world, while giving them a place to refresh, renew, and recharge.
The 500 acre farm in Vermont is a beautiful 2.5 hr drive from the Boston Logan International Airport. We’d suggest everyone fly into the airport no later than lunch on day 1 (first thing you’ll need to be at on the farm is the welcome dinner that night around 6pm, before our first session). However, many people of past retreats decide to fly in the night before and take their time in Boston or Woodstock, before making it over to the farm for dinner. The retreat ends day 3 at 3pm so plan to leave back to Boston around 3-4pm on the final day. You can drive in by yourself, or we suggest pairing up with 2-3 other members in the group (that we will connect as the date gets closer) to all caravan and pitch in together for transportation (and it’s a great way to get a jump start on the relationships).
Jeff & Jon have a combined 43 years speaking and teaching all over the world, in different countries and contexts. They also have combined given over a couple thousand sermons or talks in their decades of ministry. They’ve planted churches, written a combined 11 books, and served in various contexts and roles around teaching and preaching. Basically, they love to communicate effectively, and they care about the craft of teaching and preaching, and they want to serve you to do the same!
We understand everyone is in different financial positions, and so if it’d be helpful to stretch the payments out a little longer or do a more custom payment plan we’d be happy to help–just shoot us an email to [email protected]. Price INCLUDES all lodging and meals onsite. You show up and we take care of the rest!

After that, refunds will no longer be available, but any and all registration fees paid can be applied to any future retreat if you need to reschedule.
