"Cultivating Sabbath Rhythms" Day Retreat

Join The Gathering for the "Cultivating Sabbath Rhythms" Day Retreat. We will co-create an inclusive and safe community for people to take a day to slow down. We will spend time in communion with God and community through collective and indivudal reflection, Christian contemplative practices and gentle movement. The day considers the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical dimensions of rest and delight in the midst of life's up's and down's.

This retreat is an opportunity to nurture your inner life, and your relationship with God. The day is a gentle and healing time to connect more deeply with your self, others, and God. Practices which cultivate resting with God such as journaling, silence, listening prayer, and prayer walks have been utilized both in ancient and modern Christian traditions.

We ask that participants make a $75 contribution to crowdfund these events. However, we don't want money to be a barrier for anyone's participation, and so there's the option to choose how much to donate.
