"It was not Israel that kept the Sabbath, it was the Sabbath that kept Israel"
At it's heart, Sabbath is a practice that reorients us towards the sacred: the sacred presence within and beyond us, the sacred found in the ordinary, daily moments, the sacred presence experienced in Creation. During this retreat, we will step away from the world's demands for production, efficiency and busyness, and steep ourselves in a different kind of rhythm. We will experiment with some of the Sabbath practices in Wayne Mueller's book Sabbath as well as take time to connect with the sacred presence through prayer, nature and some of the daily routines of life.
Our time together will begin on Friday evening with dinner. We will come back together Saturday from 9am-4pm.
