The Art of the Pause: Redefining the Sabbath for Modern Life
Lifelong Learning | Available (Membership Required)
In an age of "always-on" technology and endless to-do lists, the ancient concept of the Sabbath is more relevant than ever. We’ll begin by exploring the rich theological roots of this tradition before shifting into a practical, secular look at how rest serves our mental and physical well-being today. This course goes beyond "taking a day off" to view the Sabbath as a vital tool for renewal. Together, we will share ideas for modern practice and conclude by building a practical, step-by-step roadmap for incorporating intentional stillness into your own weekly rhythm.
