The Sabbatical Journey
Guiding pastors and nonprofit leaders on a transformative sabbatical journey.
A self-paced learning journey to help you prepare for, experience, and reorient from a life-changing sabbatical
What is The Sabbatical Journey?
This is not just another online course.
It’s a guided experience—built for leaders, pastors, and professionals who are stepping into sacred rest with intention.
Whether you’re just beginning to plan your sabbatical or are already deep in the process, this self-paced experience will walk with you through the three essential phases:
Prepare – Ready your heart, schedule, family, and organization
Experience – Embrace sacred rest, emotional renewal, and spiritual space
Reorient – Return with clarity, redesigned rhythms, and a sustainable path forward
You’ll be guided by Sabbatical Coaching Group founder and expert sabbatical coach Alan Briggs, and supported with videos, tools, reflection prompts, and coaching insights—on your own time, at your own pace.
