Sabbatical Planning & Coaching

Dear Friend,

Your Sabbatical is a gift from God and an amazing opportunity; the gift of rest. Sabbatical coaching can help you make the best use of this wonderful gift.

The word Sabbatical comes from Sabbath – so your time should be restful above all else. It’s amazing how quickly we default to some form of productivity even when we try to rest. We can help you craft an intentional process, customized to you, aimed at making the most of a truly life-giving, restful, and renewing experience.

Fill out the below form for an introductory Sabbatical coaching session with me. In the introductory session, we will have the chance to get acquainted with one another and start exploring together what you’re looking for in your Sabbatical.

Peace,

Jeremy
