This retreat day will consist of intentionally weaving our Christian faith with practices of mindfulness; we’ll learn about and practice mindfulness (breath meditation, gentle mindful movement, loving kindness meditation) as well as enjoy a healthy and delicious lunch. The hope is that you will leave the retreat day not only feeling nourished by the experience but also better equipped to practice moments of True Sabbath & mindfulness throughout the days and weeks to come.

A Bit About The Day:

  • We'll spend time settling into our bodies and relaxing our nervous systems through the use of mindfulness practices. We'll do this to calm our minds and bodies so we can better hear the whispers of the Holy Spirit guiding us.

  • We'll spend time building awareness of some of the foundational attitudes of mindfulness practice (non-judging, patience, trust, acceptance & compassion) and weave this awareness with the Christian faith.

  • There will be time to journal on your own to deepen your awareness of the material.

  • Towards the end of the day, we'll have an opportunity to share with each other any discoveries from your experience.

  • Before we leave we’ll have time to craft a bit of intention for how to use this awareness in our everyday lives and allow it to strengthen our faith.

What to Wear: comfortable clothing that you can easily move in for gentle movement and sitting meditation time. Wear walking shoes if you'd like to walk outside for walking meditation time.

What to Bring: A journal, pen, water bottle, yoga mat or blanket, cushion to sit on. If you don't have a yoga mat, blanket, or cushion to sit on, we'll have plenty of blankets and chairs for sitting.

Where @ ESK: When you drive up to the school, there is a center building. You want to enter the double glass doors below the stained glass window. The retreat day will be right in those double doors- Googe Hall.

Again, lunch will be provided.
