Cultivating Sanctuary® Signature Retreat
YOUR SANCTUARY LIFE:
Live abundantly in seasons of change and challenge
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION —
To explore what moves you into a pace of life with a renewed sense of possibility
In different ways, with different circumstances, and to varying degrees, we’ve all faced the complexity and nuance of times that test us.
When you notice a challenging season on the horizon, you wonder where to find a brief respite before moving ahead. In the thick of it, you hope just to keep your head above water. And once it’s all over, you’re drained, in desperate need of renewal — only for the cycle to repeat itself.
Your soul wasn’t meant to operate this way. It was meant to flourish, even in the midst of what feels like chaos.
Come as you are. Your Sanctuary Life awaits…
June 9 - 13, 2024 | Bayfield, WI

Your Guide and Spiritual Mentor
Jeanne Hartfield (pronounced 'Jean') is passionate about equipping people to be well amid life’s persistent disruptions. Over 20 years of ministry as an ordained Lutheran pastor and spiritual mentor, Jeanne has guided thousands of people to act with intention in their life and relationships. Jeanne is well-versed in the best of ancient practices and brings them into the realities of modern life as a working mom and business owner. Jeanne draws on her theological training as well as wisdom gained through extensive spiritual direction and life experiences to guide clients as they listen deeply to their own life and God-given desires.
FAQs
What other details do I need to know about room and board?
All prices above are for Single Occupancy. Double occupancy is possible in a Nest at a discounted rate. Speak to Jeanne if you are interested in double occupancy.
Any food allergies, sensitivities, or preferences will be documented during onboarding after you register and submit your deposit
There are shared spaces to gather or relax during down time and free time
You’re a pastor. Is this a Christian retreat?
Yes and no. The work I do is absolutely rooted in Christian contemplative theology and practice–particularly the belief that each of us is deeply loved by our Creator who has created each of us with a unique combination of gifts and callings for how we move and be in the world. I believe that God’s love is expansive and inclusive. I believe that God’s animating Spirit guides us and is a source of wisdom and healing for us.
At the same time, you do not need to be a practicing Christian to find meaning and clarity from this experience and I am not using this retreat to proselytize. If you are spiritually curious or adhere to another faith system, there is space for you to show up authentically and be well served through this work and conversation.
As part of the onboarding process and pre-retreat spiritual mentoring sessions, I will gain a better understanding of the various faith and spiritual perspectives of the retreat participants and will use that information to shape the way I am presenting the content to serve all perspectives.
