During Formation Week, participants were invited into spaces and moments to be still, to rest. Rest, not as a luxury, but as essential to our being... to our formation. What if rest guided the rhythms of the fullness of life? What if we, as a community, were still? What might we discover anew of the divine’s call?

Be still and know that I am God.
