2025 Reset retreats

Three Days. No Phone. Plenty of Time for your Soul.

Become aware that GOD IS PRESENT (again).

The idea for “reset Retreats” …

… emerged during my sabbatical in 2021, when — after 10 years of church planting — I finally slowed down and realized how exhausted, tense, and disconnected from God I had become. Much of this was due to my inability to pause, give my soul time to breathe and process, and reconnect with God — not as a church planter, but simply as Alex.

Since then, I regularly take Reset Retreats for myself and with small groups of people who also long to slow down, process, and become aware (again) that God is truly present.

Here’s what to expect

  • A small group of people (max. 5-6 participants), a quiet location surrounded by nature, a private bedroom to yourself

  • Guided spiritual practices to slow down and be attentive to God

  • Shared meals (and cooking),
    but most of the day for personal solitude

  • Reflection prompts to guide your time,
    though you’re free to follow where God leads

  • Three full days without a phone

  • Opportunities for conversation and prayer

  • No cost for the Reset Retreat itself (though donations are welcome);
    you only cover travel and food expenses

  • How others experienced it

    “The retreat Alex led for church planters was a huge blessing for me. It helped me slow down, be attentive to God's leading, recharge for the next year, and cultivate friendships with other church planters. I'm excited for the ways the Lord will use this initiative to enrich the lives and leadership journeys of many other leaders in Europe!”

  • How others experienced it

    “It is rare that busy leaders find the time for unhurried stillness before the presence of God and with one another. Under Alex’s thoughtful direction, this retreat provided an environment for soul-searching reflection. A thoughtful balance of hearing from God in silence and in community with one another was evident. In the war that ministry often is, this was a merciful opportunity to be replenished and find renewed strength and true allies in the same battle.”
