Step Away. Breathe Deeply. Return Renewed.
A sabbatical is more than time away—it’s an opportunity to rest deeply, realign with what matters most, and return with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose. At Soul Care, we support leaders through every stage of the sabbatical journey, helping to ensure it is intentional, life-giving, and meaningful.
We help you:
• Plan with confidence – Define your goals, set healthy boundaries, and design a sabbatical that truly supports your well-being.
• Engage fully – Step into rhythms of rest, reflection, and renewal without the pull of daily demands.
• Return well – Re-enter your work with fresh perspective, sustainable practices, and a foundation for lasting soul health.
A well-planned sabbatical doesn’t just refresh you—it strengthens the way you lead and live. Let us help you make the most of it.
Hear from Our Participants
The biggest concern in taking time away for a sabbatical was the thought: Will I actually be able to rest? Along with that was the thought of, ‘What kind of mess will we come back to if we aren’t there to lead during this time? The biggest gift we received was actual rest—spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
Sure, we had to engage with processing and working through some things, but it was worth it for our soul health. As individuals, we were better, and as a couple, our marriage was better—which then produces better leaders!

My biggest concern was not turning my sabbatical into a project to be managed—exchanging my job as CEO for a new job as CEO of my sabbatical.
I worked with my Soul Care spiritual director to approach my concerns and my propensity to overplan. God enabled me to enter my sabbatical released from work and, as in Leviticus 25, let the land of my life lie fallow. I was so different that my wife and children called me ‘Sabbatical Bill.’
The gift of the sabbatical was in putting no expectations on it and permitting the Lord to do what He willed in my fallow time. Upon my return, I was shocked to discover—all the work He had been doing unseen in my heart.

One of our Directors was getting ready to leave for his Sabbatical and I recommended he see a Soul Care Spiritual Director during his time away. He said it was hands down the best thing he did during Sabbatical and shared with numerous others on staff and in leadership about how significant this resource was.
This has allowed us the ability to offer Spiritual Directors for all of our staff that participate in a Sabbatical.
