about the perch
Our mission is to provide space and skills for soul care so you can engage God, others, and yourself in meaningful ways. Designed to be a resting place, we offer an environment to experience rest, renewal, reflection, and rejuvenation. We specialize in serving church leaders.
​
We believe in order to love and live well, we need to experience love, healing, and holistic health ourselves. Toward this end, we offer retreats, classes, workshops, groups, and resources to help you develop in these areas. You'll find that we're always adding to our calendar, so check back often to see our latest offerings. We are led by our director, Amy Jackson, and we're located in the heart of Aurora, Illinois. We hope you'll join us soon for an event!

Mosaic
Workshop
April 22, 2020
Sometimes when we look at our lives, all we see is broken, scattered, disconnected pieces. In this hands-on workshop, you'll create a mosaic coaster. We'll reflect on how God uses the various pieces of our lives and pieces them together to make a beautiful creation.
