Just Be
Featuring: Neil and Sharol Josephson
October 13 - 15, 2026
There’s nothing you need to do—just be.
Stillness is sacred, and nothing draws out that quality quite like sharing it. That’s exactly what Just Be is for: a few days set aside in our calendar for self-directed retreaters to simply enjoy this place where so many encounter God.
We invite you to come stay at Barnabas without any of the usual programming but with all the usual hospitality: delicious food, awe-inspiring nature, crackling wood fires, and many opportunities to experience the restorative beauty of Jesus.
We look forward to welcoming you.

NEIL AND SHAROL JOSEPHSON
After 20 years of full-time marriage and family ministry, Neil and Sharol Josephson have concluded that they can't just tell couples how to have a healthy marriage. So they have learned to guide couples into conversations, insights and practices that will lead them to the marriage they long for, one that is joyful, resilient and life-giving.
After leading FamilyLife Canada for many years, Neil and Sharol now lead FamilyLife Global Resourcing and long to see couples and families around the world growing closer to each other and closer to God. They have been married for 47 years and, when they are not travelling the globe or visiting their kids and grandkids, live in Nelson, BC.
