Beloved Community Rest Retreat

One of the fundamentals of our faith is that we believe God created the world. God created for six days, and on the seventh day, God rested. When the Israelites were in the wilderness, God sent them food to eat, but not on the Sabbath. God tells us over and over and over again how important it is to keep the Sabbath day sacred. So why is it so hard for us to do it? 

Everything in our culture pushes us to go faster and do more. Multi-task. What would it look like to single-task? Slow down? Say no to something, even if we would be great at it?

Our Rest Retreat offers time, space, and community to practice many ways to bring rest into our lives. If resting were easy, we would all be doing it! We need to practice.

We will gather at Procter Center to avail ourselves of the many opportunities to slow down, be in nature, and be in community. Join us!

This event is partially subsidized by the Beloved Community budget. If the cost of this retreat presents a barrier to your participation, please request a Beloved Community grant before filling out a registration form.
