The BIPOC Spiritual Retreat will bring together leaders of color who are engaged in racial justice and reconciliation work in Christian ministry for a time of rest and reflection. This is an opportunity to connect with one another, to learn from one of the leading voices in this space, and to find spiritual and emotional care.

The National Association of Evangelicals will cover the full registration cost of a shared room (a value of $408) and can offer a single room for those who would like to pay the difference ($194). The registration fee covers two nights stay and five meals at The Carmelite Spiritual Center (8419 Bailey Road · Darien, Illinois). Participants will need to cover their transportation fees.

Registration is closed for this event.
