Sabbath\u00a0Life<\/a> is an\u00a0ecumenical invitation to clergy and\u00a0ministry professionals to\u00a0practice the rhythms of\u00a0Sabbath<\/strong>, stepping away from our daily\u00a0lives\u00a0to delight in God, creation, and each other. Our unique format offers a holistic approach to good health and clergy renewal, which in turn leads to flourishing congregations and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabbath\u00a0Life\u00a0cohorts meet on a local farm, 9 am \u2013 4 pm, to experience\u00a0Sabbath\u00a0in community with each other and all of creation. Through work in the garden, worship around the table, shared silence, rest, and reflection together, you will have the opportunity to order your\u00a0life, renew your energy and passion for ministry, and strengthen your leadership through a community of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
