PACE is unique in that we will not only teach you WHAT TO DO, but IN WHAT SPIRIT you can do it.

Many cohort programs focus on personal spiritual formation. Others equip people with practical skills for their work and relationships.

PACE brings together the best of both spiritual formation AND practical application.

We help people integrate their life with God into how they live, work, and influence others, whatever their role.

Your Soul Care Coaches & Spiritual Leadership Mentors

 

We’re both faced with the same challenges as you. We’ve often felt trapped by the overwhelming pace of the culture that surrounds us. We’ve struggled with anxiety in the face of what sometimes feels like a never-ending to do list. 

 Thankfully, over the years we’ve learned by experience that living an unhurried life is possible and that it bears better fruit than hurry ever has. 

 Caring well for our own souls, in relationship with God, has led to greater peace, more presence and an enriched focus on our growing spiritual influence. We want to share with you the wisdom we’ve learned. 

 

Alan and Gem Fadling are the founders of Unhurried Living, Inc., a Christian non-profit that trains leaders to rest deeper, live fuller and lead better. Gem and Alan are both trained spiritual directors, mentors, and coaches with more than 30 years’ experience at the intersection of spiritual formation and leadership.

Alan is the award-winning author of five books including An Unhurried Life, An Unhurried Leader and A Non-Anxious Life. Gem is the author of Hold That Thought and the co-author of What Does Your Soul Love? Together, they host the Unhurried Living Podcast. The Fadlings coach and train individuals, groups, and leadership teams, and they love to speak about the genius of Jesus’ unhurried way. 

We hope to have you join us for this 21-month life-changing experience.
