The Corner: A BIPOC Clergy Retreat Model

The National Benevolent Association offers a resource for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Clergy in need of rest and respite. The content for this guide was created and gathered by Joselyn Spence, Director of NBA’s Mental Health & Wellness program, and retreat model collaborators Rev. Anita Anglade, LMFT, and Sarah Serrano, LCSW.

Below is a 24-page resource titled “The Corner: A BIPOC Clergy Retreat Model.” In this booklet, you’ll find research on the importance of clergy wellness, a retreat design plan that can be edited to fit your needs, and a sample schedule and list of activities for groups looking to plan their own wellness retreat for BIPOC clergy. You can read the booklet below, or download it and print it for easy sharing.
