RESET 2026 - Retreats of Reconnection for Women These women’s retreats are a special opportunity to escape from our busy lives, pause and take some time for yourself.

We are living in extraordinary times. Truly extra-ordinary! So how do we live well in a time which continues to change, challenges us, and asks more of us while giving us less time to react, recharge, or connect? Shalom is holding its latest Men’s Weekend Retreat. It is a time where men can get away together, share life experiences, and take time to reflect on the values and actions we can take to live better. Using some simple, yet powerful, exercises, participants use the retreat to ‘slow down’ their thinking and explore (individually and together) what we can to do make a positive change that impacts ourselves and others. Meals, drinks and stories are shared. Connections are made. It is not about being particularly holy, religious, or prayerful. It is about coming together to explore a connection to something greater than ourselves – something that never tires of refreshing us to deal with such ‘extra-ordinary’ times.
