Well-Being Wednesdays
Well-Being Wednesdays, formerly Well-Being Respite, offer a unique opportunity to renew your mind and spirit as you engage a topic from multiple perspectives. This offering is available in a convenient, partial-day, virtual format. Well-Being Wednesdays are offered four times each year in addition to the annual in-person Well-Being Retreat.
"Having just finished the August respite, I can see how important it is for me to do this regularly. Normally, I am caring for the church, my family, and my community. This gives me an opportunity to care for me."
"I am thankful for … the framing of the workshop in worship and prayer from start to finish, creating a safe and loving atmosphere for learning."

— Well-Being Wednesday attendees
Well-Being Wednesdays allow you to step away from your daily routine and engage meaningfully with colleagues in life, work, or ministry.
Available at no cost to all members of the Benefits Plan of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), their spouses, and surviving spouses, Well-Being Wednesdays offer a virtual space to pause, learn, reframe, and connect. Each offering focuses on a different dimension of wholeness — financial, spiritual, vocational, and health — and how the current landscape shapes our understanding and application of it.
Each Well-Being Wednesday comprises the following:
- centering prayer
- an engaging workshop
- a panel discussion
- break-out conversation with other participants
- a charge and blessing as you return to the rhythm of your day
Participants who attend the live event are
awarded 75 Call to Health points following the program.
