Last month, our community explored Sabbath in all its forms through rest, imagination, reflection, release, feasting, and play.
During our Sabbath retreat, we spent intentional time unplugging from distraction and reconnecting with God, ourselves, and one another. Together, we practiced rhythms of stillness through scripture reading, prayer, silence, reflection, and communal rest.
Ny’Ea guided us through beautiful movement-based practices centered around release, embodiment, and making space for God to meet us gently and honestly. Her leadership helped create a space where people could slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with their bodies and spirits.
We also had the gift of learning from Rev. Denise Posie, who led us in conversation around discerning God’s voice and our call through Sabbath rest. Her wisdom, honesty, and care challenged us to think more deeply about rest not as escape, but as sacred practice.
Throughout the month, we reflected on Sabbath as both “Rest & Imagination” and “Feasting & Play” reminding ourselves that rest is not simply stopping work, but making room for delight, joy, presence, and renewal.
During this month, we had so many moments of fun and play. We practiced intentionally slowing down, laughing, sharing meals, being creative, and simply being together. Those moments reminded us that joy, community, and presence are also sacred parts of Sabbath.
One of the invitations of the retreat was to disconnect from constant noise and digital distraction as much as possible. In doing so, many of us found clarity, peace, creativity, and a deeper awareness of God’s presence.
We’re deeply grateful for everyone who shared space, stories, questions, movement, laughter, meals, and rest with us this month 🤍
