Description

SABBATH TIME: finding rest, wisdom, and delight 

“Buried deep in Judeo-Christian tradition is a rhythm of time that needs to be uncovered and offered in fresh forms today.  It is a rhythm anchored in an understanding of the Sabbath.  The Christian Sabbath, as a practice of receptive time that balances and permeates our active time, has not had comprehensive, serious attention in mainline Christian thought and practice for a long time. “  Tilden Edwards

Sabbath is a time to remember who we are, remember what we know, and taste the gifts of spirit and eternity.  Together let us discover the rhythm between work and rest, where contemplation and action are one.  Please bring an icon, a symbol, that represents where you are in your journey. This conference is designed for renewal of LEM licensing.

Themes for Sabbath Time

“Letting Go”; “Being With”; “Empowerment”
