Rhythms of Rest: Escape the Hurry & Find Fullness. Part 1

God created rhythm in nature all around us (days, seasons, seed and harvest cycles), and even within us (our circadian rhythm, our heartbeat). We were designed to find healing rhythms in life. However, the entire world is living in a "urgent push - collapse" dynamic, and we have lost our natural rhythms.

This workshop explains the nature of "rhythms of rest", why it is so important for healing, and why we have lost our rhythm as a society. We look at the nervous system and how stress puts our soul on hold! We will also begin to explore ways to cultivate healthy life rhythms that can restore our soul and heal the negative impacts of stress.

Follow-up questions (optional):

1. Do you see yourself in Matthew 12-:28-30 (Message Translation)? If so, what part resonates with you and why?

2. Are there any other ways that you see God creating healthy rhythms in nature, in scripture, or in His relationship with you? What is one way that you connect with God through rhythm? Is there a new way that you would like to connect with Him?

2. For quiet reflection: What physical, emotional, and cognitive signs & symptoms did you notice that stuck out to you? Reflect on if there are physical, emotional, or cognitive whispers/white flags that your soul needs rest.

3. What is one way that you intend to practice cultivating healthier rhythms in your life after part 1 of this workshop?
