“One of the things that I appreciated the most from TWB is a structure to help me prepare effectively for the sabbatical, process the most important things during sabbatical, and to transition successfully back into my role after the sabbatical... I highly recommend TWB for sabbatical coaching especially for those in vocational ministry!”

"The Way Between provided helpful input and a roadmap into planning my sabbatical well in advance, then walking with me during the experience. I appreciated the mix between experience to help direct me in my planning and flexibility to go with the Spirit's leading during the time."

"Having a Sabbatical Coach was crucial to me getting the most out of the time. My coach helped me overcome the initial guilt of spending so much time resting and focusing on self-care, gave me a framework for goal setting and evaluation, led me in spiritual exercises of communing with God and listened as I verbally processed. I would highly recommend an experienced coach to all my staff or anyone else as they enter a sabbatical! I can’t say enough about The Way Between’s work in this space."
