Nationwide, over half of higher education faculty are mid-career. While they play vital roles sustaining their institutions, relatively little systematic attention has been paid to meeting their particular needs. This paper describes a professional renewal retreat program tailored to this "keystone" group of faculty (Chang, 2006). It is grounded in the theoretical constructs of "generativity" (vs. "stagnation") (Erikson, 1964/1993), of "agentic" and "communion-oriented" senses of self (Bakan, 1964, Grossbaum & Bates, 2002), and of "growth" or "mastery" (vs. "fixed") mindsets (Dweck, 2006). Detailed analyses of reflections of 47 retreat participants before, during and after the program are presented and discussed.
