A Journey of Restoration
My Sabbatical
The Minister & The Journey
About Me
Reverend Lisa Naumann
Minister · Sabbatical Pilgrim
I have been a full-time minister in the United Church since the fall of 2014. Ministry is a calling that fills every corner of life — and after years of faithful service, this is my first sabbatical journey.
United Church ministers are invited to take a minimum of three months — in addition to our regular holidays and study leave — as a season of intentional renewal. I have taken three months plus ten days to breathe, reflect, and restore.
I am not one for travel. I find deep joy in routines and self-care rituals that bring life and light to my heart. This sabbatical has been a quiet, intentional pilgrimage — close to home, close to the earth, close to the sacred.
I invite you to see the journey I have taken and explore what I have learned along the way.
My Sabbatical Goals
- Deepen my personal prayer and contemplative practice
- Explore movement and embodiment through yoga and fitness
- Nourish my body with intentional self-care rituals
- Read, learn, and expand my spiritual and intellectual horizons
- Rest deeply and allow space for restoration
- Reconnect with joy through simple indulgences and beauty
- Document and share this sacred journey with others
