Sacred Side Hustle
Exploring Spacious Vocations

Do you need space? Maybe you are managing multiple roles and you need space to decompress? Are you considering experimenting with new ministry methods and need space to process? Perhaps you support multivocational leaders and want to learn more about the various spaces that help people thrive in their unique callings? Would you like a space to connect with  others serving in a multivocational capacity?

We’ll pause from the hustle and explore ways to reflect, celebrate, and rest. We’ll hear from multivocational leaders and scholars, clergy wellness professionals, and an expert in "play as sacred restoration". Together, we’ll practice making space for the sacred in the midst of competing priorities.

Join us for an interactive Zoom event November 13-14 and explore a more spacious vocation at Sacred Side Hustle 2022.
