Dangerously Tired: Cultivating Rhythms that Help Us Rest in God with Dr. Ruth Haley Barton

In today’s fast-paced culture, there is often little uncluttered space for God, few rhythms of rest that honor our human finiteness, and little courage to say no to lesser things in order to say yes to what really matters. The result is a level of exhaustion and spiritual depletion that many of us have come to accept as being normal and few of us know how to combat. In this seminar/retreat, we will explore the difference between being “good tired” and “dangerously tired.” We will also explore the spiritual practices of simplicity, Sabbath and saying no as concrete ways of establishing life rhythms that will help us to maintain spiritual vitality over the long haul.
